Root Explanation

Nonmonetary → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "monetary" (from Latin "monetarius", meaning relating to money). The word "nonmonetary" means not relating to money or financial matters.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'monetary' relating to money — so nonmonetary refers to things that are not about money.
