The word eloquent comes from the
Latin verb loquī, which means "to talk or speak." (The adjective
loquacious describes a person who is skilled at or has the inclination for
talking.) Expression of the self can be seen and not heard, which gives meaning
to eloquent as an adjective for nonverbal impressive acts.
The word procrastinate comes from the Latin prefix pro-, meaning "forward," and crastinus, "of tomorrow." The word means moving or acting slowly so as to fall behind, and it implies blameworthy delay especially through laziness or apathy.
