Absurd \Ab*surd"\, a. [L. absurdus harsh-sounding; ab + (prob) a       derivative fr. a root svar to sound; not connected with surd:       cf. F. absurde.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Apocrypha       hidden, spurious, the name given to certain ancient books which       found a place in the LXX. and Latin Vulgate versions of the Old       Testament, and were appended to all the great translations made       from them in the sixteenth century, but which have no claim to       be regarded as in any sense parts of the inspired Word.                (1.) They are not once quoted by the New Testament writers,       who frequently quote from the LXX. Our Lord and his apostles       confirmed by their authority the ordinary Jewish canon, which       was the same in all respects as we now have it.                (2.) These books were written not in Hebrew but in Greek, and       during the "period of silence," from the time of Malachi, after       which oracles and direct revelations from God ceased till the       Christian era.                (3.) The contents of the books themselves show that they were       no part of Scripture. The Old Testament Apocrypha consists of       fourteen books, the chief of which are the Books of the       Maccabees (q.v.), the Books of Esdras, the Book of Wisdom, the       Book of Baruch, the Book of Esther, Ecclesiasticus, Tobit,       Judith, etc.                The New Testament Apocrypha consists of a very extensive       literature, which bears distinct evidences of its non-apostolic       origin, and is utterly unworthy of regard.
