'be totally inactive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'doctor eli bond the last' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'eli'+'bond'='elibond'
'elibond' anagrammed gives 'boneidl'.
'boneidl'+'e'='BONE-IDLE'

'to' acts as a link.
