Did you try that new game everyone is talking about?

Root Explanation

Noninteractive → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "interactive" (from Latin "inter-" meaning between and "agere" meaning to act). The word "noninteractive" describes something that does not involve interaction or action between parties.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') engaging in 'action between' ('interactive') — that's why noninteractive means not engaging with others.
