Etymology: from slumber.
The timely dew of sleep,
Now falling with soft slumb’rous weight, inclines
Our eyelids. John Milton.While pensive in the silent slumb’rous shade,
Sleep’s gentle pow’rs her drooping eyes invade;
Minerva, life-like, on embodied air
Impress’d the form of Iphthema. Alexander Pope, Odyssey.There every eye with slumb’rous chains she bound,
And dash’d the flowing goblets to the ground. Alexander Pope.A great perturbation in nature! to receive at once the benefit of sleep, and do the effects of watching: in this slumbery agitation, what have you heard her say? William Shakespeare, Macbeth.
