Happening at a bad or inconvenient time when something is not wanted or needed.
From 'in-' (not) + 'opportune,' which comes from Latin 'opportunus' (fitting, favorable). Literally 'not at the right time.'
An inopportune moment is perfectly timed for disaster—it's when something that might be fine any other moment becomes terrible because of when it happens.
