käyttäiläksetötön

Käyttäiläksetötön is a Finnish word that describes something that is not used or that has fallen into disuse. It can refer to objects, practices, or even ideas that are no longer relevant or functional in their original context. The word is a compound of "käyttö" (use) and "iläksetön" (unnecessary or without remedy, though in this context it implies a lack of use).

The concept of käyttäiläksetötön can be applied to a wide range of things. For example, an old tool that is no longer manufactured or repaired, a traditional craft that has been replaced by modern technology, or a law that is no longer enforced are all examples of käyttäiläksetön. It can also describe a person who is no longer employed or active in a particular role.

Understanding the term käyttäiläksetötön highlights the dynamic nature of societal progress and the inevitable obsolescence of certain elements as new innovations and needs arise. It is a neutral descriptor, simply stating a lack of current application without judgment. The Finnish language, with its ability to form compound words, allows for precise expression of such concepts.
