Morphology
irrelevant + to
The adjective 'irrelevant' already means 'not significant or related' and the preposition 'to' simply marks the target or reference; putting them together yields the straightforward meaning 'not related to X'. This is a regular, compositional adjective + preposition pattern with clear cross‑linguistic equivalents, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Irrelevant to gives a simple picture: imagine a small idea sitting outside the circle of a topic, not touching it. So, if something is irrelevant to a matter, it is 'not related' or 'not important' for that matter.
