Definition

Something that is not an argument or does not involve a disagreement or debate.

Example

The discussion was more of a nonargument, as everyone agreed on the topic.

Conversation

Have you ever heard someone say a nonargument during a debate?

Yeah, it's frustrating when they just state opinions without backing them up.

Exactly! It feels like they aren't even trying to make a real point.

Right? A good discussion needs solid arguments, not just a bunch of nonarguments.

Root Explanation

Nonargument → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "argument" (from Latin "argumentum", meaning a reason or evidence). The word "nonargument" refers to something that is not a reason or evidence, indicating a lack of argumentation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'argument' referring to a reason or evidence — so a nonargument is something that is not a reason.
