Linux top command output (meaning of %id in cpu states)

Hello.
I have not been able to find the meaning of the %id column of the CPU states section of the Linux top command. It is in the summary area.

Man page for 'top' mention all other columns but this.

I have read in the web that some people 'guess' it means IDLE, but I'm not sure.

Could you please clarify this for me ?

Thank you in advance.
