## AI Etymology
Nonjudicial is from non- ('not') + judicial, from Latin judicialis, from judicium ('judgment'), from judex ('judge'), from jus ('law') + dicere ('to say'). Important recorded forms include non (Latin) and judicialis (Latin). Morphologically, the non- element marks negation or exclusion while the base supplies the domain being denied. The modern sense is largely compositional: the word names the absence, exclusion, or opposite of the base idea. In current use it covers not relating to or carried out by a court of law. The wider family includes related words such as judicial, judiciary, and judge.
