Root Explanation

Nonaddict → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "addict" (from Latin "addictus", meaning to devote or surrender). The word "nonaddict" means not devoted or surrendered to an addiction.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') being combined with 'devoted' ('addict') — that's why nonaddict means someone who is not devoted to an addiction.
