Noun

langur m or f

1. (Anglo-Norman) languor (weakness due to illness)
   • c. 1150, Thomas d'Angleterre, Le Roman de Tristan, Champion Classiques edition, →ISBN, page 222, lines 2920–1:

     la peine qu'ad e la dolur
     e coment il gist en langur

     the pain and the anguish that he has
     and how his is lying in languor

Usage notes

• Like other words ending in -or that are masculine in Latin and feminine in modern French, about evenly split between masculine and feminine usage. Most citations do not demonstrate a gender (like the one above).
