English has its share of weird words, borrowed words, rules, counter-rules, exceptions to rules, and outright fakery.
For example: disgruntled. (meaning unhappy or sulkily discontented). What then does "gruntled" mean? Happy and contented? No. It means "to complain".
Following suit we get this:
gruntled: contended?
irregardless: to regard?
antidisestablishmentarianism: for the establishment? (I just threw that in because I like it).
Floccinaucinihilipilification: not much ;-)
moot: relevant? not relevant?
