nonalignment

/ˈnɑnəˌɫaɪnmənt/ noun

The condition of being nonaligned

Word Origin Alignment comes from align, which is from French aligner 'to line up' — from a- 'to' and ligne 'line.' Nonalignment means not lining up with a particular side, especially in politics. The root line is from Latin linea 'linen thread, line,' which gives us linear, lineage, outline, underline, and delineate (draw lines). The PIE root *lin- meant 'flax, linen,' because lines were drawn with linen threads.
