lassitude

English to Arabic Other History
there were others who retreated more deeply into the comfortable lassitude of the past, clinging to dreams that the west would retreat as surely as the crusaders had left palestine centuries before (the problem is that i can't understand how the lasstitude can be comportable)

I would say, فتور الهمة الباعث على الارتياح

lassitude means no work and as such comfort. I hope you see the logic behind it. Good luck
