Indolent (4)

I think it could be either:

idle

lazy

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

This is the entire 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 Times, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, The Sun, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
