Root Explanation

Noninteracting → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "interact" (from Latin "inter-" meaning between and "agere" meaning to act). The word describes a state where entities do not act or influence each other between them.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') acting 'between' ('inter-') — that's why noninteracting means not influencing each other.
