無む実じつ

noun

absence of fact; lack of substance; insubstantiality

A much less common abstract use meaning that something has no factual basis or no real substance. In modern Japanese this is usually encountered in explanatory or literary contexts rather than ordinary conversation.

• この文ぶん脈みゃくの無む実じつは、事じ実じつそのものが存そん在ざいしないことを指さしている。

  In this context, 無実 refers to the absence of the fact itself.

noun

insincerity; dishonesty

Archaic noun use for lack of sincerity or honesty. This is not the normal modern meaning, so contemporary readers are more likely to understand 無実 as 'innocence' unless the older sense is explicitly discussed.

• 古ふるい文ぶん章しょうでは、無む実じつが不ふ誠せい実じつや偽いつわりを意い味みすることがある。

  In old writing, 無実 can mean insincerity or falsehood.
