        fatigatus refers to a subjective state of exhaustion induced by an exhausting effort.

        fessus refers also to a subjective state of exhaustion induced by an exhausting effort, but is perhaps a somewhat stronger word to use.

        lassus refers to an objective and physical state of exhaustion, like lassatus.
