non-¹

IPA: /ˈnɒn/

Prefix

Used in the sense of not, to negate the meaning of the word to which it is prefixed.

Etymology

From Latin non, from Old Latin noenu, noenum, from neoenum (“not one”). See none.

Usage notes

The prefix non- may be joined to a word by means of a hyphen, which is standard in British usage. In many cases, especially in American usage, non- is joined without a hyphen. (For example, nonbaseball is relatively common, but noncricket, referring to a primarily British sport, is rare.) Some non- words rarely or never use a hyphen (such as nonentity). By contrast, un- is almost always spelled without a hyphen.

Unlike un-, non- tends to suggest an absolute negation without the possibility of shades of comparison. For example, very unhelpful is common, but very nonhelpful is not.

Meaning "not" in phrases taken from Latin and some other languages, non is a separate word and is not hyphenated: non compos mentis, persona non grata.

As non- is a living prefix, the list of words having the prefix non- is practically unlimited. It is particularly common in the sciences.

Non- may be attached to nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs to negate their meaning.

Etymology From Latin non, from Old Latin noenu, noenum, from neoenum (“not one”). See none. Usage notes The prefix non- may be joined to a word by means of a hyphen, which is standard in British usage. In many cases, especially in American usage, non- is joined without a hyphen. (For example, nonbaseball is relatively common, but noncricket, referring to a primarily British sport, is rare.) Some non- words rarely or never use a hyphen (such as nonentity). By contrast, un- is almost always spelled without a hyphen. Unlike un-, non- tends to suggest an absolute negation without the possibility of shades of comparison. For example, very unhelpful is common, but very nonhelpful is not. Meaning "not" in phrases taken from Latin and some other languages, non is a separate word and is not hyphenated: non compos mentis, persona non grata. As non- is a living prefix, the list of words having the prefix non- is practically unlimited. It is particularly common in the sciences. Non- may be attached to nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs to negate their meaning.
