adiaphorous
[ad-ee-af-er-uhs]
adjective: doing neither good nor harm, as a medicine
|
Adiaphorous describes something that has no significant effect, either for better or worse. The word comes from a Greek term meaning "indifferent," and it's especially useful for describing a medicine that produces no meaningful change in a patient's condition. Keep adiaphorous handy for when a result is neither helpful nor harmful. |
Example: She realized the expensive vitamin water was adiaphorous, producing no health benefits or negative reactions.
