- 1不公平；不公（制度或待遇不公正，不是單純「不相等」的不平等）
Inequity is a lack of fairness — when people are not treated as they should be, or when a rule, a system, or a result is unfair. You can use it for the general idea (there is inequity in how money is shared) or for one unfair thing (this is an inequity). It is a fairly formal word. In everyday talk people more often say , or just that's not fair. Though actually, inequity and inequality sit next to each other and speakers mix them. Inequality is about things not being equal: one person has more, another has less. Inequity is about that difference being unfair. A gap can be unequal without being , but people stretch inequity to cover almost any gap they dislike. You will meet it in news, school writing, and talk about law, health, and money — not much in casual chat.
組成From in- (not) + equity (fairness). Piecewise doublet of iniquity: built from the same pieces, but iniquity took an older path and now means wickedness, not unfairness.
