Contrary to reason or common sense,
utterly absurd or ridiculous.
To the dismay of those few surviving writers on language who like to argue sense from etymology, this word no longer quite means what its Latin precursor says it ought. It appeared in English in the sixteenth century, derived from Latin praeposterus, which is made up of prae, before, plus posterus, coming after, so meaning something reversed (and hence nonsensical).
