Root Explanation

Noncounty → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "county" (from Old French *conté*, meaning a division of land or territory). The word "noncounty" refers to an area that is not classified as a county.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'county' as a division of land — so 'noncounty' means an area that is not a county.
