Root Explanation

Nonideological → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "ideological" (from Greek "idea" meaning form or concept and "-logical" from "logia" meaning study or discourse). The word "nonideological" means not based on or relating to a particular set of ideas or beliefs.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'ideological' relating to ideas or beliefs — so nonideological means not tied to any specific ideas.
