Indescriptive

/ˌɪn.dɪˈskrɪp.tɪv/

अवर्णनात्मक; अस्पष्ट/कम-विवरण वाला

Origin & History

Formed from the prefix in- (“not”) + descriptive, from Latin describere (“to describe, to write down”). Rare/nonstandard in modern usage; often replaced by 'nondescriptive' or 'indescribable' depending on meaning.

उपसर्ग in- (“नहीं/अभाव”) + descriptive से बना; descriptive का मूल लैटिन describere (“वर्णन करना/लिखकर दर्ज करना”) है। आधुनिक प्रयोग में यह शब्द दुर्लभ/गैर-मानक माना जा सकता है; अर्थ के अनुसार प्रायः 'nondescriptive' या 'indescribable' का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Definition

ऐसे व्यक्ति/वस्तु/वर्णन के लिए प्रयुक्त जो पर्याप्त विवरण न दे, जिससे स्पष्ट चित्र या समझ न बने; धुंधला या शब्दों में व्यक्त करना कठिन।
