Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nonprint → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "print" (from Old French *preinte*, meaning to impress or mark). The word "nonprint" refers to something that is not printed or does not exist in printed form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'print' meaning 'to mark' — so nonprint refers to something that is not marked or produced in print.
