indefinite

The term "indefinite" refers to something that is not definite or fixed. It is often used to describe a situation, period, or quantity that has no clear beginning, end, or limit. In grammar, "indefinite" can also refer to articles or pronouns that do not specify which person or thing is being referred to, such as "a," "an," or "some." In mathematics, an indefinite integral is an integral that does not have fixed limits of integration. The term is often used in contrast to "definite," which implies a specific, fixed quantity or period. Indefinite can also be used to describe a situation that is uncertain or unpredictable, such as an indefinite strike or an indefinite period of time.
