Etymology
The term 'nonstrategic' is a compound word formed by prefixing 'non-' to 'strategic'. The prefix 'non-' comes from Latin and is used to indicate negation or absence, while 'strategic' is derived from the Greek word 'strategos', meaning 'general', which has evolved to encompass planning and executing military operations. In late 20th century business language, 'strategic' began to denote actions that align with an organization’s long-term goals, leading to the formation of 'nonstrategic' to describe those actions or decisions that are not aligned with or are less significant to those goals. Initially used in military contexts, the term has found broader application in business and management discussions.
