अप्रयुक्ता (aprayuktA)

 
L R Vaidya
English
aprayukta {% a. (f. क्ता) %} 1. Not employed, not applied
2. wrongly used (as a word)
3. not usual, strange (as a word in a particular sense or gender). In rhetoric being अप्रयुक्त is considered as a defect of a word which must be avoided. In the instance तथा मन्ये दैवतोऽस्य पिशाचो राक्षसोऽथवा, the masc. form दैवतः is अप्रयुक्त, for although grammatically correct, it is not generally used, K.Pr.vii.
