Etymology and Structure

The word anāgāmuka is a compound formed from:

• āgāmuka: derived from āgata, meaning "coming" or "having arrived"

Grammatically, it is treated as a tatpurusha compound in Sanskrit, 

which combines adjectives or nouns in a way that specifies a 

property or characteristic. It can be used as masculine, feminine, 

or neuter depending on the context, with

forms -ka (masculine), -kā (feminine), and -kam (neuter)

Its usage can be literary, philosophical, or descriptive, often applied

in Sanskrit texts to describe infrequent events, transient 

occurrences, or transient states. Context determines whether

it is literal (physical presence) or metaphorical (states, 

qualities, or actions).

In summary, anāgāmuka conveys the sense of irregularity, 

transience, or the unlikelihood of return, capturing both literal 

absences and metaphorical impermanence
