縁もゆかりもない
物事の間にまったく繋がりがないことを、「縁もゆかりもない」と言います。
「縁」と「ゆかり」は、どちらも家族や友人、物事との間の関係を意味する言葉です。
実際、「ゆかり」は漢字では「縁」もしくは「所縁」と書き、「縁（えん）」と同じ字を使います。
また、「ない」は否定語です。
すなわちこの言葉は、似たような言葉を繰り返して、繋がりの無さを強調しているというわけです。

In addition, 'nai' (ない) in is a negative word.
"a negative word" would be a criticism or something like that (eg. "Don't use negative words like "bad" or "stupid" when correcting your students")
When referring to the linguistics term, it's better to say "a negative".
I actually just heard this phrase used on TV the other night. It's interesting how they use two different readings of the kanji in this way
