'non-evaluative' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'evaluate,' which comes from Latin 'evaluare,' where 'e-' meant 'out' and 'valere' meant 'to be strong or worth.'

'evaluate' transformed from the Latin word 'evaluare' and eventually became the modern English word 'evaluate.' The prefix 'non-' was added to form 'non-evaluative.'

Initially, 'evaluate' meant 'to assess the value or worth of something,' and 'non-evaluative' evolved to mean 'not involving evaluation.'
