<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">passivity</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for inaction that I've seen before include "Rest" , "This is not working" , "Lack of movement or endeavour" , "Failure to do anything" , "Sloth" .)
