Root Explanation

Nonmanagement → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "management" (from Old French *managier*, meaning to handle or control). The word "nonmanagement" refers to the absence of management or the state of not being managed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'management' meaning 'handling' — so nonmanagement means not being handled or controlled.
