Surface Forms
Morphology
irregardless = regardless (semi-transparent) = ir + regard + less
The form is analyzable as 'ir-' + 'regardless', so learners can infer the negative meaning, but the prefix is nonstandard and redundantly negative, which makes the formation potentially confusing.
Etymology
Irregardless was made by adding the 'not' part ir- to the common word regardless, so it ends up with two 'not' parts. A helpful way to remember it is that people sometimes use it to add strong feeling, but it is considered nonstandard and the correct form is regardless, meaning 'without regard' or 'without caring about other things'.
