Not likely to cause offense or disagreement; bland and inoffensive to the point of being uninteresting or ineffective.
From Greek 'anodynos,' meaning 'free from pain,' combining 'an-' (without) and 'odyne' (pain). Originally a medical term for pain-relieving substances, it evolved by the 19th century to describe anything that avoids causing discomfort, including bland speech or writing.
