Root Explanation

Noncrisis → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "crisis" (from Greek "krisis", meaning decision or turning point). The word "noncrisis" refers to a situation that is not a turning point or critical moment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'crisis' as a critical moment — so a noncrisis is simply a situation that is not critical.
