Definition of 'Inaccurate'
From: GCIDE
- Inaccurate \In*ac"cu*rate\, a. Not accurate; not according to truth; inexact; not quite correct; incorrect; erroneous; as, in inaccurate man, narration, copy, judgment, calculation, etc.
- Note: The term inaccurate is usually used when an assertion or result is near to the truth, but not exactly, or has some basis for belief; however, it is sometimes used as a gentle euphemism for wrong even if the error is flagrant. [1913 Webster +PJC]
