Etymology
The word mopey comes from the old word mope, which meant to be dull or gloomy and to move slowly because you feel low. Picture someone walking slowly with a sad face — that image helps you remember that mopey means 'feeling sad, gloomy, or lacking energy, often in a quiet or withdrawn way'.
