まじき

まじき is a literary or formal expression meaning that something is improper, unworthy, or unsuitable for the role, situation, or person involved. It emphasizes moral or normative judgment: the action or thing is not fitting for someone in a certain position or under certain circumstances. Because it is old-fashioned or elevated in register, you’ll mostly encounter あまり日常会話ではなく、文学的・ニュース風・書き言葉・演説などで使われます。 It is used with nouns to classify the behavior, act, or thing as inappropriate for the subject. Compared to modern equivalents like ふさわしい/ふさわしくない、まじき carries a stronger, almost admonitory nuance and often carries a sense of ethical propriety or formal condemnation.
