Etymology : The word frivolous is applied to things that don’t deserve serious attention—though in some cases a thing described as “frivolous” is serious enough to be a legal matter. In its most basic, and oldest, uses, frivolous simply describes things of little importance. You can refer to anything you don’t find worthwhile—from silly products to outrageous forms of entertainment to goofy pursuits—as “frivolous.” Something that in a more technical sense lacks seriousness can also be described with the word; a frivolous essay or book isn’t dealing with important topics or ideas. In applying the word frivolous to something, you’re saying it doesn’t deserve serious attention. The word frivolous gets more serious when it’s applied, as it often is, to legal matters. If a lawsuit is said to be frivolous, it cannot be successfully argued (because, for example, a successful argument would require that a widely rejected legal theory be accepted) or that laws—or the facts—don’t support it.
