Did you hear about that new airline offering nonscheduled flights?

Root Explanation

Nonscheduled → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "scheduled" (from Old French *eschelon*, meaning a plan or arrangement). The word "nonscheduled" means not arranged or planned in advance.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') and something that is 'planned' ('scheduled') — that's why nonscheduled means something that is not planned.
