Did you see the prices at that new store?

Yeah, they're pretty high compared to others.

I guess most of their items are nondiscount products.

That makes sense, but it’s still a bit too steep for me.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nondiscount → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "discount" (from Old French *descomter*, meaning to deduct or subtract). The word "nondiscount" means not subject to a deduction or reduction in price.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') allowing a 'deduction' ('discount') — that's why nondiscount means no reduction in price.
