Root Explanation

Nonspatial → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "spatial" (from Latin "spatialis", meaning relating to space). The word "nonspatial" means not relating to or existing in space.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'spatial' relating to space — so nonspatial refers to something that does not exist in space.
