Indolent (4)

I think it could be either:

idle

lazy

'indolent' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Unoccupied (time); run (engine) slowly" , "Circus entertainer" , "Not in active use" , "Indolent" , "no longer employed?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Times, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sun and The Independent.
