English Dictionary - With Multi-Lingual Search Definitions impertinent adjective  irrelevant (opposite of pertinent) insolent, ill-mannered Usage Note: Although historically sense (1) was original (derived from French below), over time meaning switched to sense (2). However, more recently meaning has swung back to (1). (As people have used the word less, its latter and somewhat illogical meaning has declined in favour of the earlier and more logical one.) However, many older speakers will consider sense (1) incorrect. Some therefore suggest avoiding the word altogether; the construction "not pertinent" may be used as an alternative.      Full Definition of impertinent  Find:   Words Starting With:   Words Ending With:   Words Containing:   Words That Match:    Translate Into:    Dutch   French   German    Italian   Spanish     Show 51015202550 results per page.
