Conversation

I was thinking about our conversation yesterday, and I realized we missed the nonimplication of that statement.

Oh? What do you mean by that?

Well, it’s important to recognize what isn’t being said as much as what is.

Absolutely, sometimes the nonimplication can be just as revealing.

Root Explanation

Nonimplication → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "implicare" (meaning to involve or entangle). The word refers to a situation where one thing does not imply or involve another.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') involving or entangling something ('implicare') — that's why nonimplication means that one thing does not imply another.
