3636 /oknērós ("indolent") refers to a reluctant attitude, unwilling to act (participate) – i.e. slothful (lazy), unambitious, disinterested.

[In classical Greek 3636 /oknērós ("indolent") refers to "shrinking backward, because unready. The idea of 'delay' underlies the secondary sense, 'burdensome, troublesome.' It is the vexation arising from weary waiting, and which appears in the middle English irken (to tire or to become tired), cognate with the Latin urgere (to press), and English irk (irksome, work)" (WS, 884).]
