zestless
Without any spark
Zestless means lacking enthusiasm, energy, or flavor.
Something zestless feels dull and uninspiring, whether it's a bland meal, a lifeless performance, or a person going through the motions without passion.
The zestless presentation failed to capture anyone's attention.
The word applies equally to food that needs seasoning and to experiences or people that need spark.
