Meanings and usage

adjective: off guard; taken by surprise, incomplete; not exhaustive
不備

The page gives two rather distinct senses (off guard/by surprise vs. incomplete/not exhaustive) without dialect-specific labels, and the word is rare/literary (mostly seen in the idiom 出其不備), so which sense best matches everyday Teochew usage is unclear.
