inusitada

Inusitada is the feminine form of the Spanish adjective inusitado, meaning unusual or uncommon. It is used to describe things that are not typical, expected, or ordinary, often carrying a sense of novelty or surprise.

Usage and tone: The term tends to appear in literary or formal registers; in everyday speech, inusitado is less common than synonyms such as raro or poco habitual, while inusitada is used to agree with feminine nouns like situación, conducta, or evento. It can convey both factual rarity and a subtle evaluative nuance, depending on context.

Grammar and examples: Agreement follows the noun. Examples include: "Una respuesta inusitada sorprendió a los expertos." "La lluvia inusitada de este mes rompió la rutina climática." In both cases, the word emphasizes deviation from what is normally expected in that context.

See also: Related terms include inusual, insólito, and raro. Inusitada is a feminine form, with the masculine form inusitado typically used for masculine nouns.

Notes: While inusitada is valid in Spanish, its use is more common in literary or formal contexts; everyday speech more often opts for synonyms like raro or poco habitual.
