Not competent or empowered (6)

I believe the answer is:

unable

(Other definitions for unable that I've seen before include "Having insufficient strength or ability (to do something)" , "Old, weak" , "Lacking the necessary skills" , "Not having the necessary means or skill or know-how" , "Impotent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
