Etymologie

() From ancient Greece circa 500 B.C. "Irrational" originally meant only that a number could not be expressed as a ratio. But for the Pythagoreans it came to mean something threatening--that their world view might not make sense--which is today the other meaning of "irrational." * ir- + rational
