1

unnecessary extra amount or repetition

A situation where there is too much of something, so some parts are not needed.

الگوی کاربرد: redundancy in [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think 'redundancy' only refers to losing a job. In fact, this general meaning is wider and can refer to extra words in writing, repeated steps in a process, or any unnecessary surplus. Also, learners may say *'there is many redundancies in the text'*; use the uncountable form for this sense: *'there is a lot of redundancy in the text.'*
هم‌معنی‌ها
excess (Broad term for more than needed; does not always imply repetition.) | duplication (Emphasizes repeated or copied elements more than general surplus.) | superfluity (More formal and literary; often suggests something clearly not needed.)
متضادها
necessity (Focuses on what is needed, the opposite of something unnecessary.) | efficiency (Suggests no wasted or unnecessary parts in a system or process.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
avoid redundancy |eliminate redundancy |reduce redundancy |remove redundancy |redundancy in the system |redundancy in the report

job loss because role is unnecessary

When a person loses their job because the company says the job is no longer needed, not because of bad work.

الگوی کاربرد: face redundancy; be under threat of redundancy
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'redundancy' with 'firing'. Redundancy is usually not the worker’s fault; it happens because the job itself is no longer needed. Also, in UK and other varieties, 'redundancy' is a standard term, while in US English 'layoff' is more common.
هم‌معنی‌ها
layoff (Common in US English; broader term for job loss, not limited to roles that are no longer needed.) | dismissal (More general term for being removed from a job; can include poor performance or misconduct, not only redundancy.)
متضادها
employment (General state of having a job, the opposite of losing one through redundancy.) | retention (Focuses on being kept in a job instead of being let go.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
face redundancy |take redundancy |voluntary redundancy |threat of redundancy |redundancy package |redundancy pay

backup systems for reliability

Extra parts or systems that are added on purpose so that something still works if one part stops working.

الگوی کاربرد: redundancy in [a system/device/network]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think redundancy always means something bad or wasteful. In engineering and IT, redundancy is usually planned and positive because it improves safety or reliability.
هم‌معنی‌ها
backup (Everyday term; less precise about technical design but similar idea of an extra system ready to take over.) | failover (Specialized computing term for the process of switching to a backup system when the main one fails.)
متضادها
single point of failure (Technical phrase for a system with no redundancy, where one failure can stop everything.) | minimal configuration (Emphasizes using only the essential components, with no extras for backup.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
built-in redundancy |system redundancy |network redundancy |triple redundancy |provide redundancy |add redundancy
موضوع‌ها
technology |science |engineering
نمونه‌ها

extra information aiding error correction

In language or codes, extra information that is not needed to understand the message but helps people or machines guess missing parts or find mistakes.

الگوی کاربرد: redundancy in [language/the signal/the code]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this technical sense with general 'unnecessary repetition'. Here, the extra information can be useful and is often designed on purpose, especially in codes and signals.
هم‌معنی‌ها
predictability (Focuses on how easy it is to guess missing information rather than on the extra information itself.)
متضادها
information density (Emphasizes a high amount of new information with little or no extra or repeated content.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
redundancy in language |high redundancy |linguistic redundancy |redundancy in the signal |built-in redundancy codes
موضوع‌ها
science |language |communication
نمونه‌ها
