Root Explanation

Nonmeaningful → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "meaningful" (from "meaning" which comes from Old English "mænan", meaning to signify or intend, and the suffix "-ful" meaning full of). The word "nonmeaningful" describes something that is not full of meaning or significance.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') and something that is 'full of meaning' ('meaningful') — so nonmeaningful means it lacks significance.
