nonintersecting

/nˌɑnˌɪntɚsˈɛktɪŋ/ adj

Not intersecting.

Word Origin Intersect comes from Latin inter 'between' and secare 'to cut' — literally 'cut between,' so intersecting lines cross each other. Nonintersecting means they don't cross. The root secare gives us section, dissect, bisect, and sector. The breakdown non+inter+sect+ing shows the layers: not cutting between.

adj Not intersecting.
