Root Explanation

Nonconcern → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "concern" (from Latin "concernere", meaning to sift together or to relate). The word "nonconcern" means something that is not related or does not involve concern.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') being added to 'relate' ('concern') — that's why nonconcern means something that does not relate to your worries.
