The noun this forms – inutility – is quite evocative, to me at least.
This is the name of a song in the musical "In the Heights."
I'd never thought about that until you told me, but yes. I'm sure knowing a smattering of Japanese is not helping in this regard.
I know what it means, but this word remainds me of Inuits. And dogs. It's quite an elegant word, oddly, until you deconstruct it, and then it suddenly starts sounding less impressive....
