Said less about doing nothing (4)

I believe the answer is:

idle

'doing nothing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'said less about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word.
'IDLE' can be found hidden inside 'said less'.

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Tick over like engine" , "Lazy - unemployed" , "Futile" , "Avoiding work, lazy" , "Do very little" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
