adj. not relevant; not applicable or pertinent. [1780–90] ir•rel′e•vant•ly, adv. pron: The pronunciation of irrelevant as (ɪˈrɛv ə lənt) as if spelled irrevelant, is the result of metathesis, the transposition of two sounds, in this case, the (l) and the (v). relevant, the base word, is occasionally subject to the same process. Analogy with words like prevalent and equivalent may play a role.

IrrelevantUnrelated or inapplicable to the matter in issue. Irrelevant evidence has no tendency to prove or disprove any contested fact in a lawsuit. irrelevantadj. not important, pertinent, or germane to the matter at hand or to any issue before the court. This is the most common objection raised by attorneys to questions asked or to answers given during testimony in a trial. The objection is made as soon as an alert attorney believes the opposition is going into matters which are not concerned with the facts or outside the issues of the lawsuit. It is often stated in the trio: "Irrelevant, immaterial and incompetent" to cover the bases. The judge must then rule on the relevancy of the question. If the question has been answered before the lawyer could say "objection," the judge may order that answer stricken from the record. Blotting it from a jury's memory or conscience, though, is impossible. (See: immaterial, incompetent, objection, evidence) See IRLVT
