  Inert \In*ert"\, a. [L. iners, inertis, unskilled, idle; pref.
     in- + ars art: cf. F. inerte. See Art.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. Destitute of the power of moving itself, or of active
        resistance to motion; as, matter is inert.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Indisposed to move or act; very slow to act; sluggish;
        dull; inactive; indolent; lifeless.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The inert and desponding party of the court.
                                                    --Macaulay.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              It present becomes extravagant, then imbecile, and
              at length utterly inert.              --I. Taylor.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Not having or manifesting active properties; not affecting
        other substances when brought in contact with them;
        powerless for an expected or desired effect; as, the noble
        gases are chemically inert.
  
     Syn: Inactive; dull; passive; indolent; sluggish; slothful;
          lazy; lifeless; irresolute; stupid; senseless;
          insensible.
  
     Usage: Inert, Inactive, Sluggish. A man may be inactive
            from mere lack of stimulus to effort; but one who is
            inert has something in his constitution or his habits
            which operates like a weight holding him back from
            exertion. Sluggish is still stronger, implying some
            defect of temperament which directly impedes action.
            Inert and inactive are negative, sluggish is positive.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Even the favored isles . . .
                  Can boast but little virtue; and, inert
                  Through plenty, lose in morals what they gain
                  In manners -- victims of luxurious ease.
                                                    --Cowper.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Doomed to lose four months in inactive
                  obscurity.                        --Johnson.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Sluggish Idleness, the nurse of sin,
                  Upon a slothful ass he chose to ride. --Spenser.
