Is there a single word for "無用"

Question

I wish to know is there in Chinese language a single word for "無用"?

Which "無用" are you talking about? Japanese? Cantonese? Zhuangzi? — Semaphore, Jul 27, 2014 at 2:39
@Semaphore - If it's in Cantonese it would be 冇用 so it's definitely not Cantonese. — Derek 朕會功夫, Jul 27, 2014 at 4:24

if by 无用 you mean useless and by one word you mean one character then I would recommend:

废 it has a lot of meanings but specifically here it contains the meaning:

waste; useless; disused; superfluous in ²fèizhǐ -ABC

It depends why that thing is considered "無用".

For example, if it is considered redundant, you can say "贅".
