Root Explanation

Nondimensional → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "dimensional" (from Latin "dimensio", meaning measurement). The word "nondimensional" refers to something that does not have dimensions or measurements.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'dimensional' relating to measurement — so nondimensional means something that is not measured or does not have dimensions.
