Have you noticed that there’s been a real nonconnection between us lately?

Yeah, I felt it too; it’s like we haven’t been on the same page.

Root Explanation

Nonconnection → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "connection" (from Latin "connectere", meaning to join together). The word "nonconnection" refers to the absence of a connection or the state of not being joined together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'connection' meaning 'joining together' — so nonconnection means not being joined.
