Root Explanation

Nonproblem → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "problem" (from Greek "problema", meaning a question or issue). The word "nonproblem" means something that is not a problem or issue.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'problem' as a question or issue — so a nonproblem is simply something that is not an issue.
