Origins
From Classical dēsidia ("sloth", but already found in the sense of "debauchery" in Plautus). Semantic influence or reinforcement from dēsīderium (“desire”) is likely. The form ⟨desideus⟩ is attested in the AA glossary from Italy, the earliest manuscript of which dates to the tenth century (the original composition may be older). The form ⟨desidium⟩ is found in various medieval texts.
