Dormancy; inertness (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inaction

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dormancy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inertness' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for inaction that I've seen before include "doing nothing whatsoever" , "Inertia" , "Lack of movement or endeavour" , "Failure to do anything" , "Ionic tan (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
