Wastes time doing nothing (5)

I believe the answer is:

idles

(Other definitions for idles that I've seen before include "Avoids working" , "Does little, just ticks over" , "Of engine, just ticks over in neutral" , "Lazes about, just ticks over" , "Wastes time" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
