Otiose derives from the Latin otium, meaning leisure, and has sometimes been used in the secondary sense of “indolent” or “idle”. You can pronounce it either “oh-tee-ose” or “oh-she-ose”, but the latter is definitely more high-faluting, and if you’re going to use a word like otiose you might as well go whole hog.
