Nonparallelism

/ˌnɒnˈpær.əˌlɛl.ɪ.zəm/

गैर-समांतरता; असमांतरता

Origin & History

Formed from non- (“not”) + parallel + -ism (“state/condition”), modeled on parallelism; used in technical and rhetorical contexts.

non- (“नहीं/अभाव”) + parallel (“समांतर”) + -ism (“अवस्था/गुण”) से निर्मित, parallelism के ढाँचे पर; तकनीकी और वाक्/अलंकारिक संदर्भों में प्रयुक्त।

Definition

Nonparallelism is the condition in which two lines, planes, structures, or elements are not parallel, meaning they do not maintain a constant distance or matching direction; it can also refer to a lack of parallel structure in writing or reasoning.

गैर-समांतरता वह स्थिति है जिसमें दो रेखाएँ, समतल, संरचनाएँ या तत्त्व समांतर नहीं होते—अर्थात वे समान दिशा में नहीं रहते या उनके बीच की दूरी स्थिर नहीं रहती; यह लेखन या तर्क में समानांतर संरचना (parallel structure) के अभाव के लिए भी प्रयुक्त हो सकता है।
