"Moot" refers to an issue that remains unsettled, open to argument or is debatable. It especially refers to a legal question which has not yet been determined by any decision of any court.

In the mid-19th century people also began to use the term moot to mean "of no significance or relevance." Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value.

ALSO - Law schools hold "Moot Court" which are used to train student attorneys in courtroom procedures and activities. The "moot" cases tried there are strictly school exercises and of no significance to any real-world event.
