1. 1(愛情或友情上)不忠的、用情不專的

    An inconstant lover or friend does not stay true. Their feelings move. They may be warm one month and gone the next, or they may go to someone else. Like , this is a word you find in books more than in the street. Everyday English prefers or not loyal. Older writers used it a great deal about lovers. Though actually, people can also call someone inconstant just because they keep changing plans or tastes — but here the word is about not being faithful in love or friendship.

組成From Middle English inconstant, from Middle French inconstant and Latin incōnstāns: in- (“not”) plus the root behind constant (“standing firm”).
