Conversation

Have you noticed how some people just don’t care about politics at all?

Yeah, it’s interesting how they embrace apoliticism so openly.

I wonder if that makes them happier in some ways.

Maybe it does, but it also means they miss out on important issues.

Root Explanation

Apoliticism → It is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "politics" (from Greek "politikos", meaning of or relating to citizens or the state). The word "apoliticism" refers to a state of being without political interest or involvement.

Memory Tip

Think of 'a-' meaning without, and 'politics' relating to citizens or the state — so apoliticism means being without interest in politics.
