nonperformer

/nˌɑnpɚfˈɔɹmɚ/ noun

Someone who is not a performer

Word Origin Nonperformer is built from performer with the negative prefix non-. Performer comes from perform, which is per- 'thoroughly' + form 'shape, form' — literally to carry out a form completely. The root forma gives us formal, conform, reform, and transform. So a nonperformer is someone who doesn't carry out the required form or action.
