Root Explanation

Noninvolved → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "involved" (from Latin "involvere", meaning to roll in or envelop). The word "noninvolved" means not rolled in or not included in a situation or activity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'involved' as being rolled in or included. So, noninvolved means not included in something.
