Re-LUC-tant में 'लटक' सुनिए: reluctant व्यक्ति काम को लटकाता रहता है, क्योंकि उसका मन ही नहीं होता। हिचकिचाता और अनिच्छुक — यही reluctant है।

Hear 'latak' in re-LUC-tant. A reluctant person keeps a task 'latkaaye' (hanging), putting it off because they do not really want to do it. Hesitant and unwilling: that is reluctant.
