Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin word inconsequentialis, combining the prefix in- (meaning 'not') with medieval Latin consequentialis (derived from consequi, 'to follow closely'). It entered the English language in the early 17th century to describe things lacking logical consequence, later shifting to mean lacking importance or significance.
