The word "nonJewish" is a combination of the prefix "non-" and the term "Jewish".
The prefix "non-" comes from the Latin word "non", which means "not". It is commonly used in English to express negation or absence. For example, "nonexistent" means "not existing", and "nonstop" means "without stopping".
The word "Jewish" refers to someone or something that is related to or associated with Judaism, a religion, culture, and way of life primarily followed by the Jewish people. It derives from the Hebrew term "Yehudi" and the Greek term "Ioudaios", both of which ultimately stem from the Hebrew name "Yehudah" (Judah), referring to one of the twelve sons of Jacob in the Bible and the founder of the Tribe of Judah.
