Unable (9)

I think it could be either:

powerless

incapable

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for powerless that I've seen before include "hamstrung" , "Weak, impotent" , "Lacking ability" , "Without ability" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
