The word "procrastinate" appears in literature both as a reflection of human nature and as a precise linguistic element. In Edgar Allan Poe’s work, for instance, it is employed to describe a disposition to temporize—often in response to deep sorrow—suggesting a kind of inherent, emotional delay in confronting one’s feelings [1]. Meanwhile, in texts that focus on grammatical structure, such as Farley and Kittredge’s work, the term is dissected to illustrate its function within a sentence, where it is modified by possessives to emphasize an inherent tendency, thereby serving as a tool for both analysis and instruction [2, 3]. Furthermore, George Eliot’s Middlemarch uses the word in a more directive context, cautioning against the habit of postponement [4]. Collectively, these examples show how the term has evolved into multiple layers of usage, balancing literary expression with grammatical precision.
