WWFTD: Otiant

Otiant

[fr. L. otiari, to be at leisure] /OH she unt/
now rare idle; resting; unemployed (cf. otium)

"His existence would be otiant and superfluous."
- North American Review, Apr. 1845

"They who.. relegate the Supreme to the otiant ease
of Epicurus, cut the nerves of moral obligation."
- North American Review, May 1878

Fitting, knowing all the layoffs we are experiencing at work lately.
