Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Middle English word 'irreligious', combining the Latin prefix 'in-' (meaning 'not') with 'religiosus' (devout, religious). The abstract noun suffix '-ity' was later added to denote a state or quality of being, solidifying its modern sociological usage to describe the absence or indifference to religion.
