nonhazardous

/nˌɑnhˈæzɚdəs/ adj

Not hazardous; safe.

Word Origin 'Hazard' has a fascinating origin: from Arabic 'az-zahr' meaning 'the dice', via Old French 'hasard' for a dice game. The idea of risk and chance came from gambling. So 'hazardous' means risky, and 'nonhazardous' simply adds the Latin 'non-' to mean 'not risky'. The '-ous' suffix means 'full of'. So nonhazardous is literally 'not full of risk', and the same root gives us 'hazardously' and 'hazardousness'.
