non-statistical
|non-sta-tis-ti-cal|
/nɒn-stəˈtɪstɪkəl/
not involving statistics
Etymology
'non-statistical' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'statistical,' which comes from 'statistics,' derived from the Latin 'statisticus,' meaning 'of state affairs.'
'statisticus' transformed into the English word 'statistical,' and the prefix 'non-' was added to form 'non-statistical.'
Initially, 'statistical' meant 'pertaining to state affairs,' but over time it evolved to mean 'pertaining to data analysis,' and 'non-statistical' came to mean 'not involving data analysis.'
