Etymology : Incongruous is a spin-off of its antonym, congruous, which means “in agreement, harmony, or correspondence.” Etymologists are in agreement about the origin of both words: they trace to the Latin congruus, from the verb congruere, which means “to come together” or “to agree.” The dates of these words’ first uses in English match up pretty well, too. Both words are first known to have appeared in English in the early 1580s.
