ἄτοπον
átopos
harm
Out of place, improper; primarily conveying the sense of something not fitting its appropriate location or situation—whether literally (not in a geometric or physical location) or, more commonly, figuratively (inappropriate, improper, absurd, or even outrageous). Contextually, can denote behavior or reasoning that deviates from what is expected, understood as 'unreasonable,' 'perverse,' or 'illogical.' In some instances, it carries connotations of 'harmful' or 'injurious,' especially when describing speech or acts considered socially or morally deviant.
