Root Explanation

This word originates from the prefix 'non-' (meaning not) and 'body' (from Old English 'bodig', meaning physical structure or form). The word 'nonbody' refers to something that is not a body or lacks physical form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'body' referring to a physical form — so 'nonbody' means something that is not a physical body.
