irrelevancy

Where it comes from

From ir- + relevancy or irrelevant + -cy.

noun irrelevancies

  1. uncountable The quality of being irrelevant or inapplicable; lack of pertinence or connection.
  2. countable A thing that is irrelevant—having no bearing on the subject of discussion. To believe that such talk really ever came out of people's mouths would be to believe that there was a time when time was of no value to a person who thought he had something to say; when it was the custom to spread a two-minute remark out to ten; when a man's mouth was a rolling-mill, and busied it
