vocabulary简明 When there's no good reason or explanation for something, don't fret; chances are it's illogical — meaning that it has no rational explanation behind it.
vocabulary扩展 The word logic has origins in the Greek root logos meaning "reason, idea, or word." But slap the prefix il- in front of it, and suddenly the word reverses its meaning. Illogical? Check out other words with the same prefix, like illegitimate and illegal, and you'll quickly see that the prefixil- in front of a word starting in "l" means "not." Suddenly the meaning of illogical isn't quite so illogical after all, is it?
