没有上下文，不知道这个词什么意思。 先上几个TE的例子吗。
TE中讲世界银行新领导一文，短短一段中就用到了两次。

Institutional inertia remains a powerful force in a sprawling international body. Mr Malpass is right about that. Inertia, after all, is the chief reason why America's president still gets to pick people like him to run one.

TE的一篇文章叫《世界范围内许多孩子接爱英文教育，其中很多是拙劣》，讲为什么一些非洲国家没使用殖民国家语言，就用到了这个词。

That is partly because of inertia. Developing curricula and printing books in local languages is expensive, and doing so in scientific subjects in which the terminology is in English is difficult.

同一篇，再次用到这个词：

It is not just inertia and coercion that work in favour of English.

从上面，我们可以看出这个词有点“固化”，“守旧”类似的意思。 好了不猜了，开始学习这个新词。
