Like some speculation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idle

'like some speculation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Reluctant to work - Pythonesque Eric" , "Explosive stuff" , "Unoccupied or not in use" , "Eric, perhaps" , "not being engaged" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
