Inequivalent

/ˌɪn.ɪˈkwɪv.əl.ənt/

असमतुल्य; समकक्ष/समतुल्य नहीं

Origin & History

Formed from in- ‘not’ + equivalent (from Late Latin aequivalent- ‘of equal value’, from aequus ‘equal’ + valere ‘to be worth’).

in- ‘नहीं’ + equivalent (लैटिन मूल: Late Latin aequivalent- ‘समान मूल्य/समकक्ष’, aequus ‘समान’ + valere ‘मूल्यवान होना/मान रखना’) से निर्मित।

Definition

Not equal or not comparable as equivalents; used especially in mathematics/logic (not having the same value or not satisfying an equivalence relation) and in general use (not interchangeable in effect or meaning).

समान (बराबर) या तुलनीय ‘समतुल्य’ नहीं; विशेषकर गणित/तर्क में (एक ही मान नहीं होना या समतुल्यता संबंध को संतुष्ट न करना) और सामान्य प्रयोग में (प्रभाव या अर्थ में एक-दूसरे के स्थान पर न चलना)।
