The meaning and "use of": idler
noun
- a habitually lazy person. - They who never go to the Holy Land in their walks, as they pretend, are indeed mere idlers and vagabonds; but they who do go there are saunterers in the good sense, such as I mean.
- a pulley that transmits no power but guides or tensions a belt or rope. - The service rep had a look at it and said that it wasn't the water pump, but an idler pulley (just there to keep the belt running the right way), meaning that the repair would be even cheaper.
