Injust

Injust is a term that does not have a widely recognized, formal definition in standard English. It is primarily encountered as a neologism or as a proper noun in niche contexts. When used informally as a modifier or noun, injust derives its meaning from surrounding text, often functioning as a nonstandard or emphatic variant related to injustice or unjust acts. Because it lacks formal attestation, its meaning can vary widely by speaker or community.

Etymology: the form appears to be a coined blend of in- and just, or a clipping of unjust/injustice, rather than a traditional derivation. The spelling also resembles the common English word unjust, but with a different semantic scope.

Usage and contexts: in creative writing and branding, injust is sometimes chosen as a stylized title or brand name. In online discourse, readers may encounter injust as a shorthand for "injustice" or for a concept of injustice emphasized by the user. It is not included in established dictionaries as a standard term.
