'non-eruptive' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'eruptive' from Latin 'eruptivus', where 'erupt-' meant 'to burst forth'.

'eruptivus' transformed into the English word 'eruptive', and with the addition of 'non-', it became 'non-eruptive'.

Initially, 'eruptive' meant 'bursting forth', and 'non-eruptive' evolved to mean 'not bursting forth'.
