Definition of Untimely
The etymological root of untimely is
found in the Latin word intempestīvus . The concept is used to
qualify what is out of opportunity or time .
What is specified beyond the
appropriate or appropriate time, or is untimely or unforeseen ,
can be mentioned as untimely. For example : "The raid
took place untimely and surprised the neighbors" , "The
untimely closure of the company unleashed the fury of the workers" , "I
liked the film, although its end seemed somewhat untimely . "
Let's see an action that
can be considered untimely. The cars have a horn (also called a horn,
bugle or whistle), a device that allows the emission of acoustic
signals. The driver can use this element to make a sound when he needs to
call the attention of the driver of another vehicle, something essential in
some cases to avoid a collision or to propitiate a maneuver necessary for the
circulation. However, the untimely use of the horn causes noise
pollution and is even a reason for sanction in some
places. Therefore, you should not sound the horn for fun or to annoy, as
it is inappropriate and out of place.
Suppose now that the technical
director of a football team decides to resign his post just two
days before the end of a major tournament. The coach chooses to leave his
job after an argument with the president of the club, and does not accept to
reconsider his position or postpone his departure. It is an untimely
departure : it leaves its players without a driver within a few hours of a
momentous match.
