1. 1/ˌʌnrɪˈleɪtɪd/無關的、不相關的(人或事件之間沒有關聯)

    Describes two or more things that have no real connection between them — no shared cause, no family tie, nothing linking them beyond coincidence. It's used both for people (not blood relatives, even if they share a surname) and for facts, events, or topics that simply have nothing to do with each other.
