Thank you. Can I leave out the first "unpleasant for a long time" (to avoid repitition)? Or would that change the meaning?

Thank you. The definition is actually from a dictionary, The dctionary says languish means " to be forced to stay somewhere or suffer something unpleasant for a long time." I thought that "unpleasant for a long time" applied to both "stay somewhere" and "suffer something". I hope that makes sense. For some reason, I thought a comma would've been used before "or" if "unpleasant for a long time" app
