Etymology

The word noninclusive combines the prefix 'non-', derived from Latin, meaning 'not' or 'without', with the term 'inclusive'. The first known use of the word 'inclusive' dates back to the early 19th century, coming from the Latin 'inclusivus', which means 'to shut in', and 'includere', meaning 'to enclose'. While 'inclusive' began to gain traction in social and political discourse, particularly during movements advocating for equality and diversity in the mid-20th century, its antonym 'noninclusive' emerged to describe situations, policies, or attitudes that fail to embrace diversity and inclusion. Over the years, noninclusive practices have been increasingly scrutinized in various sectors, including education, employment, and community engagement.
