I heard that new circuit design is noninductive and more efficient.

Really? That sounds interesting!

Root Explanation

Noninductive → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "inductive" (from Latin "inductivus", meaning leading in). The word "noninductive" refers to something that does not lead to a conclusion or inference, particularly in reasoning or logic.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') leading to a conclusion ('inductive') — that's why noninductive means not leading to an inference.
