Root Explanation

Noncultural → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "cultural" (from Latin "cultura", meaning cultivation or culture). The word "noncultural" means not related to or not involving culture or cultivation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'cultural' relating to 'culture' — so noncultural refers to something that is not related to culture.
