Like some speculation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idle

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">like some speculation</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Reluctant to work - Pythonesque Eric" , "Explosive stuff" , "Unoccupied or not in use" , "Eric, perhaps" , "not being engaged" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
