Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nonindustrial → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "industrial" (from Latin "industrialis", meaning related to industry). The word "nonindustrial" means not related to or characteristic of industry.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'industrial' relating to 'industry' — so nonindustrial describes something that is not connected to industry.
