Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Nonsocial → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "social" (from Latin "socialis", meaning of companionship or society). The word "nonsocial" means not relating to or not involving companionship or society.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'social' relating to companionship — so nonsocial describes something that is not about companionship.
