The word "nonapplication" is derived from the combination of two morphemes: "non-" and "application".
1. "Non-" is a prefix derived from the Latin word "non", which means "not" or "without". It is used to signify negation or absence. In English, it is commonly used to create words that convey the meaning of "not" or "lack of".
2. "Application" comes from the Latin word "applicare", which means "to join, attach, or apply". It originated from the combination of "ad", meaning "to", and "plicare", meaning "to fold or weave". Over time, the term "application" evolved to refer to the act of putting something to use or employing it in a particular manner.
