nonrenewal

/nˌɑnɹᵻnjˈuəl/ noun

Failure to renew.

Word Origin Nonrenewal is a triple-layer negation: non- (Latin 'not'), re- ('again'), and new (from Proto-Germanic *niwjaz 'new'). Renewal is making something new again, and nonrenewal is the refusal to do so. The root new is ancient, from PIE *newos, and appears in novel, novice, and even nova (a 'new' star). The prefix non- is straightforward, but re- is the real workhorse: redo, rebuild, rethink.
