It can be applied to actions or words that are considered irrational or thoughtless. For example, one might speak of a 'foolish man' or 'foolish words'. The word is a compound of the negative prefix 'ἀ-' (a-, meaning 'not') and 'νοητός' (noētos, meaning 'perceptible by the mind' or 'intelligible'), derived from 'νοέω' (noeō, 'to perceive, understand'). Thus, it literally means 'not understandable' or 'not perceiving/understanding'.
