How Do You Spell INDELIBERATE?

Pronunciation: [ɪndˈɛləbəɹˌe͡ɪt] (IPA)

The word "indeliberate" is spelled starting with the prefix "in-" meaning "not" and followed by "deliberate". The stress in the word falls on the second syllable, which is pronounced as "dih-LIB-uh-rit". The "de-" prefix indicates a removal or a reversal, and "liberate" means to free, so "indeliberate" means "not deliberately done". This word is not often used in everyday language, but it is a useful term when discussing actions that were not thought out or premeditated.

INDELIBERATE Meaning and Definition

1. Indeliberate is an adjective that describes actions, decisions, or behaviors that are spontaneous, unplanned, or unintentional. It refers to something done without careful thought, consideration, or prior reflection. The term combines the prefix "in-" which negates or denotes a lack of, and "deliberate," which means to think carefully or ponder.

   When an action or decision is indeliberate, it means it was not the result of careful consideration or conscious intention. It often implies that the action was impulsive, accidental, or without forethought. Indeliberate actions are often spontaneous or reactive, occurring without anticipation or premeditation.

   For example, if someone accidentally breaks a glass while reaching for an object nearby, it can be considered an indeliberate action. They did not intend to break the glass and it was not a result of careful consideration. Similarly, if someone makes a remark without thinking and later regrets it, their words can be described as indeliberate.

   The opposite of indeliberate is deliberate, which refers to actions or decisions made with conscious thought, intention, planning, or careful consideration. While indeliberate actions might lack intentionality, they can still have consequences, whether positive or negative, depending on the situation.

2. • Unpremeditated.

   • Done or performed without consideration; sudden.
