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

Hi @pranay101 I'm not seeing the PR open in our repo. Is it open somewhere in your own repo?

Our Contributing guidelines might help.
