Word origin
The word 'noncom' originated as a slang term in the military, specifically in the US Army, to refer to noncommissioned officers. It later evolved to also be used in a broader context to describe someone who does not conform to societal norms. The term 'noncom' is a blend of 'non' (meaning not) and 'com' (short for 'commissioned officer').
