indecision

Source : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Indecision \In`de*ci"sion\, n. [Pref. in- not + decision: cf. F.
   ind['e]cision.]
   Want of decision; want of settled purpose, or of firmness;
   indetermination; wavering of mind; irresolution; vacillation;
   hesitation.

         The term indecision . . . implies an idea very nicely
         different from irresolution; yet it has a tendency to
         produce it.                              --Shenstone.

         Indecision . . . is the natural accomplice of violence.
                                                  --Burke.
