Origin:
The term "unmeaning" originated in Middle English (around 1200-1500) from the Old English words "un" (without) and "meaning" (significance). It was first used in religious contexts to refer to doctrines or actions that were considered lacking in spiritual significance.
Over time, the meaning of "unmeaning" expanded to include anything devoid of purpose, value, or logical coherence. It came to be used to describe meaningless conversations, trivial pursuits, and absurd or incomprehensible ideas.
The term "unmeaning etymology" refers to the study or discussion of the origins of words that have no significant or meaningful connection to their present-day usage. This can include words that have evolved from obscure or unknown roots or words that have become obsolete or have taken on new meanings over time.
