unordinary
Out of place
Unordinary means not ordinary—unusual, exceptional, or out of the common run.
The word is rare, since *extraordinary* and *unusual* cover the same ground more naturally.
When it does appear, it often carries a deliberate, slightly emphatic quality: It was an unordinary day from the start.
