Root Explanation

Noncomputerized → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "computer" (from Latin *computare*, meaning to calculate or count) and the suffix "-ized" (meaning to make or become). The word "noncomputerized" means not made into or involving a computer.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') and 'calculating' ('computare') to remember that 'noncomputerized' refers to something that does not involve computers.
