Overaccurate

/ˌoʊvərˈækjərət/

अत्यधिक/अनावश्यक रूप से सटीक; जरूरत से ज़्यादा बारीकियों पर केंद्रित

Origin & History

Formed in modern English by combining the prefix over- (“excessively”) with accurate (“correct, precise”); used to criticize unnecessary precision.

आधुनिक अंग्रेज़ी में over- (अर्थ: “अत्यधिक/हद से ज़्यादा”) उपसर्ग और accurate (“सही/सटीक”) शब्द के संयोजन से बना; अनावश्यक सटीकता की आलोचना के लिए प्रयुक्त।

Definition

Used to describe statements, measurements, calculations, or people that aim for more precision than is useful or appropriate, often resulting in pedantry, wasted effort, or impractical detail.

ऐसे कथन, माप, गणना या व्यक्ति के लिए प्रयोग होता है जो उपयोगी/उचित सीमा से अधिक सटीकता पर ज़ोर देते हैं, जिससे अक्सर पांडित्य, समय/मेहनत की बर्बादी या अव्यावहारिक बारीकियाँ पैदा होती हैं।
