Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'in-' (meaning 'not') combined with 'cohaerentem', the present participle of 'cohaerere' (meaning 'to cohere or stick together'). Entering the English language in the late 16th century, it initially described physical substances lacking cohesion before expanding to denote speech, thought, or organization lacking logical connection.
