Lacking logical connection or clarity; difficult to understand because thoughts or speech are confused and disorganized. Can also mean physically not sticking together.
From Latin 'incohaerens,' combining 'in-' (not) and 'cohaerere' (to stick together). Originally used in physics to describe things that don't hold together, it evolved by the 1620s to describe confused speech or thought.
Picture someone trying to tell a story while extremely tired - their words don't 'cohere' or stick together logically. It's like verbal spaghetti - all tangled up with no clear structure!
