Incomparability

/ˌɪn.kəmˌpær.əˈbɪl.ə.ti/

अतुलनीयता

Origin & History

From Latin prefix in- ‘not’ + comparabilis ‘comparable’ (from comparare ‘to compare’), formed in English with -ity to denote a quality/state.

लैटिन उपसर्ग in- ‘नहीं’ + comparabilis ‘तुलनीय’ (comparare ‘तुलना करना’ से) से; अंग्रेज़ी में गुण/अवस्था दर्शाने वाले प्रत्यय -ity के साथ बना।

Definition

Incomparability refers to the condition of being beyond comparison—either because something is unique in kind or because it is so superior that ordinary standards of comparison do not apply.

incomparability का अर्थ है तुलना से परे होना—या तो इसलिए कि कोई वस्तु/व्यक्ति अपने प्रकार में अद्वितीय है, या इसलिए कि वह इतना उत्कृष्ट है कि सामान्य तुलना-मानदंड लागू नहीं होते।
