Orthodox यानी पुराने ढर्रे पर चलने वाला; 'un' लगते ही unorthodox यानी अलग सोच वाला। Ortho यानी सही और -dox यानी मत (paradox वाला) — प्रचलित मत मानने वाला।

An orthodox person follows the old, established way of thinking; add 'un' and an unorthodox person thinks differently. ORTHO means right or correct, and -DOX means opinion, as in paradox — so orthodox means holding the accepted opinion.
