I noticed our study group has become a bit nonstructured lately.

Root Explanation

Nonstructured → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "structured" (from Latin "structura", meaning arrangement or building). The word "nonstructured" means not arranged or lacking a specific structure.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') having a specific 'arrangement' ('structura') — that's why nonstructured means lacking a clear arrangement.
