The answer

IDLER

What idler means

A person who avoids work or productive activity, or a wheel or pulley that transmits motion or maintains tension in a machine without doing the primary work itself.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *idlere*, derived from the adjective *idle* plus the agent suffix *-er*. The word *idle* traces back to Old English *idel*, meaning empty or useless, of uncertain ultimate origin but possibly related to Old Norse *íðla*, to waste. The *-er* suffix simply denotes one who performs or embodies the action or state, so an idler is literally one who idles or remains inactive.
