Root Explanation

Nonmedical → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "medical" (from Latin "medicus", meaning physician or healing). The word "nonmedical" refers to something that is not related to the practice of medicine or healthcare.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'medical' relating to healing or physicians — so nonmedical means not related to healing.
