anāgati

 Anāgati is a Sanskrit term meaning "non-arrival," "non-attainment," or "non-accession," referring to a state of not reaching or achieving something.

Definition

In Sanskrit, anāgati (अनागति) is a feminine noun derived from the

prefix an- meaning "not," and āgati meaning "arrival" or "coming." 

Thus, it literally translates to "non-arrival." Depending on context, 

it may also be interpreted as non-attainment or 

non-accession

something that has not come into existence, has not been 

achieved, or is inaccessible.

Usage

Anāgati is primarily seen in classical Sanskrit literature, Hindu

philosophical texts, and sometimes in Nepali, retaining the

same sense of something that has not arrived or been

attained
