moot

Vocabulary Word

Definition

When we say something is 'moot,' it means the topic is irrelevant or it's not worthwhile to discuss it since it can't or won't produce a definite result. Like discussing about umbrella's color when it's not raining.

Examples in Different Contexts

In software design, some suggested features might become 'moot' if they don't align with current goals. A product manager might state, 'With the shift in user preferences, that feature is now a moot point.'
