Adentical

Adentical: adjective. Describing something which is not suitable in certain circumstances or in relation to something. This word is used to describe something, which is used but makes absolutely no sense, when it is used. For example in the sentence: "The icy beach was so arid.", the word "was" is clearly adentical, and should be replaced with something more suitable. This word was created by the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, when she learnt of the word "apposite" and assumed that adentical was also a word that existed along with it.
