Usage : {
Idle }, {

Lazy }.
A propensity to inaction is expressed by each of these words ;
they differ in the cause and degree of this characteristic .
Indolent denotes an habitual love to ease ,
a settled dislike of movement or effort ;
idle is opposed to {
busy },
and denotes a dislike of continuous exertion .
Lazy is a stronger and more contemptuous term than indolent .
