From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Absurd \Ab*surd"\ ([a^]b*s[^u]rd"), a. [L. absurdus
harsh-sounding; ab + (prob) a derivative fr. a root svar to
sound; not connected with surd: cf. F. absurde. See
{Syringe}.]
Contrary to reason or propriety; obviously and flatly opposed
to manifest truth; inconsistent with the plain dictates of
common sense; logically contradictory; nonsensical;
ridiculous; as, an absurd person, an absurd opinion; an
absurd dream.
[1913 Webster]
This proffer is absurd and reasonless. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
'This phrase absurd to call a villain great. --Pope.
--p. 9
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Foolish; irrational; ridiculous; preposterous;
inconsistent; incongruous.
Usage: {Absurd}, {Irrational}, {Foolish}, {Preposterous}. Of
these terms, irrational is the weakest, denoting that
which is plainly inconsistent with the dictates of
sound reason; as, an irrational course of life.
Foolish rises higher, and implies either a perversion
of that faculty, or an absolute weakness or fatuity of
mind; as, foolish enterprises. Absurd rises still
higher, denoting that which is plainly opposed to
received notions of propriety and truth; as, an absurd
man, project, opinion, story, argument, etc.
Preposterous rises still higher, and supposes an
absolute inversion in the order of things; or, in
plain terms, a "putting of the cart before the horse;"
as, a preposterous suggestion, preposterous conduct, a
preposterous regulation or law.
[1913 Webster]
