    inefficacious
    [ adj ]
    lacking the power to produce a desired effect
    <adj.all>
    laws that are inefficacious in stopping crime


    Inefficacious \In*ef`fi*ca"cious\, a. [Pref. in- not +
    efficacious: cf. F. inefficace, L. inefficax.]
    Not efficacious; not having power to produce the effect
    desired; inadequate; incompetent; inefficient; impotent.
    --Boyle.

    The authority of Parliament must become inefficacious .
    . . to restrain the growth of disorders. --Burke.

    Note: Ineffectual, says Johnson, rather denotes an actual
    failure, and inefficacious an habitual impotence to any
    effect. But the distinction is not always observed, nor
    can it be; for we can not always know whether means are
    inefficacious till experiment has proved them
    ineffectual. Inefficacious is therefore sometimes
    synonymous with ineffectual.
