excessive or unwarranted; too much

More than is right, needed, or fair; too much in a bad or wrong way.

استعمال کا انداز: undue [abstract noun]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think "undue" means "not yet due" because of the prefix "un-" and the word "due". In modern English, "undue" almost always means "too much" or "not fair/appropriate", especially before abstract nouns like "pressure", "stress", or "influence". Learners also often use "very" or "too" instead, but in formal writing (law, news, reports) "undue" is preferred.

متضاد الفاظ
reasonable (Describes an amount or level that is fair and acceptable.) | appropriate (Means suitable and proper for the situation, the opposite of being improper or excessive.)
