Adicea

/əˈdɪsiə/ noun

Definition

A state or condition of being without justice or fairness.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'dikē' (justice, right). This rare medical or philosophical term follows the Greek pattern of forming negatives with the alpha privative prefix.

Kelly Says

This word barely appears in English texts, making it a ghost word—it's theoretically sound by Greek rules but never actually caught on because we preferred using 'injustice' instead, showing how competing words can kill off their rivals.
