noninterchangeable
Cannot be substituted
Noninterchangeable describes things that cannot be substituted for one another.
Parts that are noninterchangeable must be matched to specific positions or functions: The left and right components are noninterchangeable.
The term appears in technical, legal, and economic contexts where exact identity matters—noninterchangeable goods cannot be swapped without consequence, unlike fungible commodities.
