Devoid in Malayalam
The only option offered is narrow: നിരാകാര (nirakara) means devoid of shape, formless, and by extension disguised. It is a compound in which the first part carries the sense of without, so it works as devoid only when the thing lacking is form.
Devoid of shape, disguised.
ഈശ്വരൻ നിരാകാര ആണെന്ന് അവർ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു.
eeshwaran niraakaara aanennu avar vishwasikkunnu.
They believe that God is without form.
Dictionary entry
- നിരാകാര (nirakara) — Devoid of shape, disguised.
This single word is tied to the absence of shape, so it cannot be borrowed for being devoid of money, feeling or meaning. Malayalam builds those with other negating forms.
Common questions
How do you say devoid in Malayalam?
The listed word is നിരാകാര (nirakara), but it specifically means devoid of shape rather than devoid of anything in general.
Why is disguised given as a second meaning?
Because something without its own recognisable form cannot be identified, so the word slides easily from shapeless to concealed.
