'non-academically' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'academic,' which comes from the Latin 'academicus,' meaning 'of the Academy.'

'non-academically' evolved from the combination of 'non-' and 'academic,' which was used in Middle English as 'academic' and eventually became the modern English word 'non-academically.'

Initially, it meant 'not related to academic activities,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
