Classical Japanese yoshinashi can mean unrelated or trivial
The classical Japanese adjective yoshinashi is written 由無し. Its meanings include unrelated and trivial or uninteresting. Treating it simply as a negative judgement based on the sound yoshi misses those senses.
A familiar sound can conceal a different dictionary entry.
