Suggestion: "orphan" (used out of context of its original meaning) #439

Description

@tatianamac

Orphan is often used to indicate a word or element that is on its own or abandoned, which can be harmful and exclusionary to people who were orphaned.

Alternatives that could be more specific are:

  • non-aligned
  • independent
  • satellite
  • disconnected
