STRONGS G692:
ἀργός, -όν, and in later writings from Aristotle, hist. anim. 10, 40 [vol. i., p. 627a, 15] on and consequently also in the N. T. with the feminine ἀργή, which among the early Greeks alone is said to have used, a. free from labor, at leisure (ἀργὸν εἶναι, Herodotus 5, 6):
b. lazy, shunning the labor which one ought to perform, (Homer, Iliad 9, 320 ὅ, τ’ ἀεργὸς ἀνήρ, ὅ, τε πολλὰ ἐοργώς): πίστις,
c. of things from which no profit is derived, although they can and ought to be productive; as of fields, trees, gold and silver, (cf. Grimm on Wis. 14:5; [Liddell and Scott, under the word I. 2]); unprofitable, ῤῆμα ἀργόν, by litotes equivalent to pernicious (see ἄκαρπος):
[Synonyms: ἀργός, βραδύς, νωθρός: ἀργ. idle, involving blame-worthiness; βρ. slow (tardy), having a purely temporal reference and no necessary bad sense; νωθρ. sluggish, descriptive of constitutional qualities and suggestive of censure. Schmidt ch. 49; Trench § 104]
