nonconductive

/nˌɑŋkəndˈʌktɪv/ adj

Not conductive (of heat, sound, electricity etc.)

Word Origin From Latin ducere 'to lead' — the same root that gives us duct, aqueduct, and educate (literally 'lead out'). Conductive means 'able to lead together' (like electricity), so nonconductive is simply 'not leading together.' The root ducere is incredibly prolific: produce (lead forward), reduce (lead back), introduce (lead into), seduce (lead aside).
