Root Explanation

Nongenital → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "genital" (from Latin "genitalis", meaning relating to birth or generation). The word "nongenital" refers to something that is not related to the reproductive organs or birth.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'genital' relating to birth or reproduction — so nongenital means not related to those aspects.
