Syn: Fruitless; ineffectual.
Usage: Useless, Fruitless, Ineffectual. We speak of an
attempt, effort, etc., as being useless when there are
in it inherent difficulties which forbid the hope of
success, as fruitless when it fails, not from any such
difficulties, but from some unexpected hindrance
arising to frustrate it; as, the design was rendered
fruitless by the death of its projector. Ineffectual
nearly resembles fruitless, but implies a failure of a
less hopeless character; as, after several ineffectual
efforts, I at last succeeded.
