Apathy

noun/AP-uh-thee/

A lack of interest, care or enthusiasm about something.

Voter apathy meant only a few students turned up for the SRC election.

A- means without and 'pathy' means feeling — apathy is a state without feeling or care.

Use 'apathy' for a general lack of caring, not just being tired on one day.
