Alogical

/eɪˈlɑːdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Not based on logic; lacking logical reasoning or rational basis; irrational or contrary to logic.

Etymology

From the prefix 'a-' (meaning 'not' or 'without') plus 'logical,' following a common English pattern of negation seen in words like 'amoral,' 'atypical,' and 'asexual.'

Kelly Says

The 'a-' prefix meaning 'not' or 'without' comes from Greek and Latin and is super productive in English—you can stick it in front of almost any word to negate it!
