no longer capable of producing young, as an animal, or fruit, as the earth; hence, worn out with age; exhausted of energy; incapable of efficient action; no longer productive; barren; sterile. Effete results from virile efforts. (Mrs. Browning) If they find the old governments effete, worn out, . . . They may seek new ones. (Burke)
