词源：
absurd (adj.)”plainly illogical,” 1550s, from French absurde (16c.), from Latin absurdus “out of tune, discordant;” figuratively “incongruous, foolish, silly, senseless,” from ab- “off, away from,” here perhaps an intensive prefix, + surdus “dull, deaf, mute,” which is possibly (Watkins) from an imitative PIE root meaning “to buzz, whisper” (see susurration). The basic sense could be “out of tune.”
But de Vaan writes, “Since ‘deaf’ often has two semantic sides, viz. ‘who cannot hear’ and ‘who is not heard,’ ab-surdus can be explained as ‘which is unheard of’ …” The modern English sense is the Latin figurative one, perhaps “out of harmony with reason or propriety.” Related: Absurdly; absurdness. Theater of the absurd is attested by 1961.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
absurd (形容词)“明显不合逻辑”，1550年代，源自法语absurde (16c.)，源自拉丁语absurdus“走调，不和谐；”比喻性地“不协调、愚蠢、愚蠢、无意义”，来自 ab-“off、远离”，这里可能是一个密集的前缀，+ surdus“迟钝、聋哑、静音”，这可能是（沃特金斯）来自模仿的 PIE 词根，意思是“嗡嗡声、耳语”（见 susurration）。基本感觉可能会“走调”。但德万写道，“由于‘聋’通常有两个语义方面，即‘听不到’和‘听不到’，ab-surdus可以解释为‘闻所未闻’……”英语的含义是拉丁语的比喻含义，也许“与理性或礼节不和谐”。相关：荒谬的；荒谬。荒诞派戏剧于 1961 年得到证实。相关条目及更多内容
