Root Explanation

Nonbiologist → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "biologist" (from "bio-" meaning life and "-logist" meaning one who studies). The word "nonbiologist" refers to someone who does not study life or biological sciences.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'biologist' as someone who studies life. So, a nonbiologist is simply someone who does not study life.
