lounge (v.) to pass (time) in lounging (usually fol. by away or out): to lounge away the afternoon. 1508, from Scot., of uncertain origin, "to lounge about, lie at full length," The noun in the sense of "comfortable drawing room" is first recorded 1881; in the sense of "couch on which one can lie at full length," 1830. Lounge lizard is from 1912, originally in reference to men who hung around in tea rooms to flirt.
i'm not going to lie, the grammar of tenses and their associated word order feels like soup in my head right now. which is why i like these diagrams and why i find it very relaxing sometimes just to work along a timeline, as much to reassure myself that i do know what i'm talking about as anything else!
