Yes, it was a wrong word. It should be कार्य्यस्यापारमार्थिकत्वम् ।

अविनाभावमादाय is correct.
अ-विनाभाव = The quality of not staying apart from (kAraNa).

As I said, that pot-example is always categorised as pariNAma in advaita
texts.
It is only vidyAraNya-muni, who has created a new prakriyA to treat all
kArya-s as vivartta of their cause. That's a new way to think. It is not
popular and accepted by all.
So, you have to be careful to not allow vagueness any space here.
That's why you have to treat vidyAraNya-s that chapter separately.
