I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">loafers</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('idler' can be a synonym of 'loafer')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for idlers that I've seen before include "Lazy people, layabouts" , "Those not pulling their weight" , "Lazy ones" , "They are disinclined to work" , "The work-shy?" .)
