Choose the correct synonym of the word 'Otiose'.
Answer: C
The synonym of otiose is Unnecessary.
Otiose, from the Latin otium, leisure, means serving no practical purpose, superfluous or futile, as in 'an otiose clause in the contract'. An older sense is idle or lazy, but the current meaning is 'needless'.
Necessary is its antonym. Obese (very fat) is a sound-alike trap with an unrelated meaning, and automatic has no connection with the word.
