Why this word is great

UNTIME — [Noun, Verb, Adjective] An unseasonable or ill-timed moment; to cause something to occur in such a moment; untimely. From Middle English untime, untyme, ontyme, from Old English untīma ("an unseasonable time"), from the Proto-Germanic prefix *un- ("not") + *tīmô ("time"), thus literally "not-time" or "wrong time." Unlike "timelessness," which suggests serene permanence, or "downtime," a scheduled lull, untime is a jarring dislocation of rhythm. It is the phone ringing in the deep of night, the funeral held in a spring downpour, or the love declared long after the chance has passed—a small, sharp proof that fate is not malevolent, merely indifferent to our calendars.

noun

Death, not life, is what the imam has to offer to the faithful of Desh.”
A wrong time; an unsuitable or improper time.
