Root Explanation

Nonwriter → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "writer" (from Old English "writere", meaning one who writes). The word "nonwriter" refers to someone who does not write or is not a writer.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'writer' as someone who writes — so a nonwriter is simply someone who does not write.
