stale: lacking in mental willpower to accomplish a task effectively, due to the use of tired methods of carrying out a task on a routine basis. The term "stale" can also mean out of condition, ineffective or bored as a result of either too much or too little activity. Hence, one can become stale if one does not practice piano on a daily basis and at the same time become stale by practicing the same piece over and over again without adopting a new outlook. 2, record 1, English, - staleness%20syndrome

Choisissez l'équivalent français en fonction du contexte anglais. Attention, le terme «staleness» peut avoir des sens diamétralement opposés. Entrain : manière d'agir avec animation et vivacité. Un manque d'entrain dans une activité présuppose souvent un surentraînement; inertie : manque absolu d'activité, d'énergie intellectuelle ou morale (et non physique); stagnation : état fâcheux d'inactivité, d'immobilité. 1, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20l%27inertie
