nonpathogenic

/nˌɑnpˌæθoʊdʒˈɛnɪk/ adj

Not pathogenic.

Word Origin From Greek 'pathos' (suffering, disease) and 'genes' (born, produced) with non- — so nonpathogenic means 'not producing disease.' Patho- gives us pathology, sympathy, empathy, and apathy, all about feeling or suffering. The -genic half is from the same root as generate and genesis, so a pathogen is literally a 'disease-birth.'
