Non sequitur (literary device)
A non sequitur (; "it does not follow") is a conversational and literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it,〔''The Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English''. Oxford University Press, 2009.〕 seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing.
This use of the term is distinct from the non sequitur in logic, where it is a fallacy.
==Etymology==
Literally, the expression is Latin for "it does not follow."〔Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary. http://mw1.m-w.com/dictionary/non%20sequitur〕 It comes from the words "non" meaning not, and the deponent verb ''sequor'', ''sequi'', ''secutus sum'' meaning 'to follow,' thus producing ''sequence'' and ''second''. (Deponent verbs have passive forms but active meanings.)
