The answer

INERT

What inert means

Unable to move, act, or respond; chemically unreactive or physically inactive.

Where the word comes from

From Latin *inert-*, meaning "unskilled" or "inactive," composed of the prefix *in-* (not) and *ars* (art, skill, craft). The Romans used it to describe someone lacking ability or drive. The word passed into Old French and then Middle English, where it came to mean sluggish or motionless, eventually extending to the chemistry sense of a substance that does not readily react.
