Amarigatachi means "overstretched (or overwrought) shape". According to Bob Terry's translation of Killer of Go, it would be equivalent to the chess term "exhaustion of possibilities". In that same book, the following example is given.
This is a corner pattern in which White attacks at the vital point of Black's shape, instead of extending along the left side. White tries to trick Black into cutting at 9 with his move 8. Black however calmly cuts at 8. White's attack has misfired and now she's left with two cutting points, a and b. This bad aji resulting from an overly aggressive line of play, is called amarigatachi.
