Answer:  MEANINGLESS

(Pretty cool, 11-leter, single word pun!  All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  Despite all the jumbles coming up as new, I was able to solve them all, instantaneously.  The answer letter layout made for another fine jumble.  Nothing obvious there.  Attics are . . . hot.  I was going to say cool, but that would have been oxymoronic.  You find lots of cool stuff up there though.  Dictionaries are cool.  But, I hardly crack mine open lately . . . unless the internet is down.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
