Origin of the word incoherent

"Incoherent" comes from the Latin prefix "in-" meaning "not" and the Latin word "cohaerere" meaning "to stick together, cling." The original sense of "cohaerere" was about physical objects sticking together, but it evolved to refer to ideas and thoughts being logically connected. Therefore, "incoherent" literally means "not sticking together" and refers to speech, writing, or ideas that lack a clear, logical connection.
