Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'nōn', meaning 'not') combined with 'issue' (from Old French 'issir', meaning 'to go out', later developing the sense of a matter of debate). The combined term emerged in mid-20th-century political and journalistic discourse to denote a topic unworthy of serious attention.
