Did you hear about the new noninsurance options for car rentals?

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Noninsurance → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "insurance" (from Old French *ensurance*, meaning a guarantee or security). The word "noninsurance" means the absence of insurance or a lack of guarantee.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'insurance' as a guarantee — so noninsurance refers to not having a guarantee.
