exRangerAugust 2019 On "Complacency":
Resignation to a given situation, whether it be satisfactory or otherwise. Often (among English speakers) mistakenly used to mean "laziness", but that's an inaccuracy. "Contentment" is another oft-cited synonym, and in fact gets closer to the essential Idea of "complacency", but nonetheless falls short -- but just short -- of the mark.
