Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'nōn', meaning 'not') combined with 'existent', which stems from the Latin 'existentem', present participle of 'exsistere' (to step out, emerge, or exist). The composite word emerged in early Modern English to denote the complete absence or lack of reality of a given subject.
