nontechnical

/nɑnˈtɛknɪkəɫ/ adj

Not technical.

Word Origin The Greek root tekhnē means 'art, skill, craft' — so technical is about specialized skill, and nontechnical simply means 'not involving that skill.' The same root gives us technology (the study of craft), technician, and even architect (master builder, from archi- 'chief' + tecton 'builder'). The prefix non- is straightforward Latin for 'not.'
