inequaladj.

/ɪnˈiːkwəl/

Etymology: < Latin inaequālis, < in- (in- prefix³) + aequālis equal adj. and n.: compare Old French inequal (Oresme, 14th cent.), modern French inégal.

a. = unequal adj. and adv. (The earlier formation; now archaic except as in b.) Its earliest use appears to have been in inequal hours, the hours formed by dividing the natural day or night into twelve equal parts, the length of which therefore varied according to the time of the year, the hours of the day being also unequal to the hours of the night, except at the equinoxes.
