Conversation

Did you hear about the meeting yesterday?

Yeah, I heard a lot of people were nondelegates this time.

It's interesting how decisions get made when there are so many nondelegates around.

True, it can make things a bit chaotic if everyone has an opinion!

Root Explanation

Nondelegate → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "delegate" (from Latin "delegare", meaning to send or appoint). The word "nondelegate" refers to something that is not sent or appointed as a representative.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') being combined with 'appointed' ('delegate') — that's why nondelegate means something that is not appointed as a representative.
