Root Explanation

Nondepressed → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "depressed" (from Latin "deprimere", meaning to press down). The word "nondepressed" means not in a state of depression or not feeling down.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'depressed' meaning 'pressed down' — so nondepressed means not feeling pressed down or sad.
