nonmathematical

/nˌɑnmˌæθɪmˈæɾɪkəl/ adj

Not mathematical.

Word Origin From Greek 'manthanein' (to learn) — mathematics is the art of learning, and 'mathematical' is the adjective. Add Latin 'non-' (not) and you get 'not mathematical'. The root 'math-' also gives us polymath (one who has learned much) and even 'mathematics' itself. The '-al' suffix makes it an adjective.
