Root Explanation

Nongranular → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "granular" (from Latin "granulum", meaning grain). The word "nongranular" means not having a grainy texture or structure.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'granular' referring to grains — so nongranular describes something that does not have grains.
