Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Irrelative → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "relativus" (from Latin, meaning related). The word "irrelative" means not related or not relevant to something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being connected to something 'related' ('relativus') — that's why irrelative means not related.
