怠る
おこたる · okotaru · JLPT N2 · verb-godan
to neglect
🛋️ okotaru sounds like oh, cot, tarry: you linger on a cot and neglect duty
The kanji 怠 is 台 (stand, platform) over 心 (heart): a heart left parked and idle. The same kanji appears in 怠ける (namakeru, to be lazy). Note: 怠る takes を, as in 注意を怠る, to fail to take care.
