Root Explanation

Nonelectrical → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "electrical" (from Greek "ēlektron", meaning amber, which was associated with electricity). The word "nonelectrical" means not related to or involving electricity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'electrical' relating to electricity — so nonelectrical refers to something that is not related to electricity.
