nonexpendable

/nˌɑnɛkspˈɛndəbəl/ adj

Not expendable.

Word Origin Nonexpendable is simply expendable with the prefix non- 'not' — so not able to be expended, not disposable. Expendable comes from Latin expendere 'to weigh out, pay out' (ex- 'out' + pendere 'to weigh'). So something nonexpendable is too valuable to be weighed out and spent. The pendere root also gives us depend (hang down, rely on), suspend (hang under), and indispensable (not able to be dispensed with). The non- prefix is straightforward: not expendable.
