An action that is inadvisable is not a wise thing to do. You can still do it — nobody is locking the door — but a careful person would say, “I wouldn’t.” It is a calm, slightly formal word. Doctors, teachers, and newspapers like it because it sounds less rude than “stupid” or “don’t.” People also stretch it: “inadvisable in this weather” means “a bad idea right now,” not that the action is always wrong. Though actually, it is softer than a ban: illegal means the law says no; impossible means you cannot; inadvisable only means you probably should not.
不智的;不宜的;不建議的
組成in- (“not”) + advisable (“wise to do”). Advise is the verb “to tell someone what they should do,” from Old French aviser (tied to avis, “opinion”). So inadvisable is “not something one would advise.”
