unparallel
Lacking exact correspondence
Unparallel means not parallel—lines or surfaces that don't run equidistant from each other, or things that fail to match or correspond: The unparallel beams gave the ceiling a crooked look.
The word is rare; nonparallel serves the same function and appears more often.
Not to be confused with unparalleled, which means without equal.
