Conversation

I was reading about a concept called nonsubject in my philosophy class.

That sounds interesting! What does it mean?

It refers to things that aren't considered subjects in a discussion.

Got it! So, it's like topics that don't really fit into the main conversation.

Root Explanation

Nonsubject → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "subject" (from Latin "subiectus", meaning placed under or subject to). The word "nonsubject" refers to something that is not subject to a particular rule or condition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning not, and 'subject' meaning something that is placed under a rule. This helps you remember that a nonsubject is something that is not under any rule or condition.
