👉 Unapropos is a term in linguistics that refers to an expression or statement that has been intentionally inserted into a text without its intended meaning, often with a goal of creating a humorous effect. The term comes from the Greek word "un-" (not) and "apropos" (about). In other words, it is the opposite of apophysis, which is the act of inserting an expression or statement intentionally into a text to create humor or surprise.
