undamaging

/ʌndˈæmɪdʒɪŋ/ adj

Not causing damage.

Word Origin Undamaging means not causing damage. Damage comes from Latin 'damnum' meaning loss or harm—so undamaging is literally 'not causing loss.' The same root gives us damn (to condemn to loss), condemn (to sentence to harm), and indemnify (to secure against loss). The PIE root *dap- meant to apportion or sacrifice, which led to the idea of loss.
