nonproducing

/nˌɑnpɹədˈusɪŋ/ adj

Not carrying out production.

Word Origin Nonproducing means not yielding. Produce comes from Latin pro- 'forward' and ducere 'to lead' — literally 'to lead forward, bring forth'. The root ducere is everywhere: deduce (lead down), induce (lead in), reduce (lead back), conduct (lead together), educate (lead out). Nonproducing simply negates it.
