Quagmire

The word’s meaning and etymology make such use quite logical; not only is a quagmire a bog, or area of soft ground in which it can be difficult to walk, but the word is formed by combining quag (meaning marsh) with
mire (a word meaning ‘to cause to stick fast in’).

Vapid

Vapid means “not lively or interesting” or “dull or boring.” It comes from the Latin word used to describe flat or tasteless wine, and perhaps ultimately from the Latin ancestor of vapor —something without flavor, animation, or spirit.
Vacuous, meaning “stupid,” “inane,” or “idle,” was also looked up in large numbers.
