inconstant

inconstant adjective 1 the exact dimensions are not easily measured since they are inconstant: variable, varying, changeable, changing, irregular, shifting, fluctuating, inconsistent, not constant, unsettled, unfixed, mutable, unstable, unsteady; technical labile; rare changeful, fluctuant, variational.

ANTONYMS faithful, dependable. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD inconstant, changeable, capricious, fickle These words all indicate that someone or something is liable to change and cannot be relied upon. ■ Inconstant is a rather literary word suggesting that changes are not only sudden and frequent but also inexplicable. It is applied particularly to someone who is not faithful in love (a widely held belief that women were by nature inconstant ). ■ Changeable is a more common word for people and things liable to frequent variation (she experienced changeable moods and panic attacks | conflicting and changeable political objectives ) and is often used of the weather (outlook for tomorrow: changeable with rain at times ). ■ Capricious emphasizes the fact that someone's changes of mind and behaviour spring from irrational and unpredictable whims, making them totally unreliable (it was hopeless to try and argue with her capricious husband ). A capricious person is irresponsible and inconsiderate, possibly to the point of cruelty (a capricious and often brutal administration ). ■ Fickle, deriving from an Old English word meaning ‘deceitful ’, is a disapproving description of someone who changes their views or allegiances very rapidly or readily (the fickle Viennese public had once flocked to hear Mozart ). A fickle lover is shallow and transfers their affections repeatedly from one person to another (men are so fickle, always on the lookout for someone new ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
