'non-Indigenous' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'Indigenous,' which comes from Latin 'indigenus,' meaning 'native or original.'

'Indigenous' changed from the Latin word 'indigenus' and eventually became the modern English word 'Indigenous.' The prefix 'non-' was added to form 'non-Indigenous.'

Initially, 'Indigenous' meant 'native or original,' and 'non-Indigenous' evolved to mean 'not native or original.'
