名字空白：不知道是誰
這一族直接就是核心畫面：名字欄空著。差別只在空白是「查不到」還是「不肯寫」。
unnamed, unknown · adjective · C2
Not known by name; nobody knows, or the person does not say, who they are.
匿名的
核心畫面
One way to see it: the name slot is empty. Someone or something is right there in front of you — you can read the letter, see the face, walk into the building — but where the name should be there is a blank, so nothing marks it out as this one and not any other.
名字那一欄是空的。東西就在你眼前——信讀得到、人看得見、大樓走得進去——但該寫名字的地方是一片空白。少了名字會怎樣？…更多收起
名字那一欄是空的。東西就在你眼前——信讀得到、人看得見、大樓走得進去——但該寫名字的地方是一片空白。少了名字會怎樣？這個人、這個東西就沒辦法跟別人區分開來，它只是「某一個」，不是「這一個」。這個空白有時候是別人不知道，有時候是本人刻意不留；而當空白從名字擴大到整體樣貌時，就變成「怎麼看都跟其他的一樣，記不住」。From the word’s history
From Greek anonumos — an- 'without' + onuma 'name' — literally 'without a name'; the modern word still turns on that missing name.
這個字拆開就是 an-（沒有）+ onuma（名字，跟 name 是遠親），希臘文 anonumos 字面意思就是「沒有名字」。現代所有用法都還踩在這個字面上：從匿名信到那種「毫無特色」的大樓，差別只在那個沒有的東西是「登記的名字」還是「認得出來的樣子」。
Entry origin note (Late Latin anonymus < Ancient Greek ᾰ̓νώνῠμος, ᾰ̓ν- + ὄνῠμᾰ 'name'), consistent with Merriam-Webster and the Online Etymology Dictionary.

樣子空白：沒有特色到記不住
把「沒有名字」推遠一步：一個東西如果連可以指認的特徵都沒有，那它等於連個記號都不剩，跟沒名字一樣認不出來。
characterless, generic · adjective · C2
Having no interesting look or special quality — used when you do not like that sameness.
毫無特色的
