Ain’t vice to wander doing nothing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inactive

'doing nothing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ain't vice to wander' is the wordplay.
'to wander' is an anagram indicator.
'aint'+'vice'='aintvice'
'aintvice' with letters rearranged gives 'INACTIVE'.

(Other definitions for inactive that I've seen before include "Not operative" , "sluggish" , "Dormant" , "Resting" , "Not moving/working" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
