Definition

Describing something that does not have any moral or ethical values, or is not related to moral considerations.

Example

The decision was seen as nonmoral, focusing purely on practical outcomes rather than ethical implications.

Conversation

I read an article about how some decisions are nonmoral and just based on logic.

That makes sense; not everything has to involve ethics.

Exactly! Sometimes, we overthink things that are just practical.

Right, it's refreshing to look at issues from a nonmoral perspective.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nonmoral → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "moral" (from Latin "moralis", meaning pertaining to manners or ethics). The word "nonmoral" means not pertaining to morals or ethics.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'moral' relating to ethics — so nonmoral describes something that is not related to ethics.
