nonequivalent

/nˌɑnɪkwˈɪvələnt/ adj

Not equivalent; different.

Word Origin Nonequivalent means not equal in value. Equivalent comes from Latin aequus 'equal' and valere 'to be strong, worth' — literally 'equal worth.' The same roots give us equal, equate, valid, and value. The non- prefix negates that equality, so nonequivalent things are not of the same worth.
