'non-geographical' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'geographical' from Greek 'geōgraphia', where 'geo-' meant 'earth' and 'graphia' meant 'writing or description'.

'geōgraphia' transformed into the Latin word 'geographia', and eventually became the modern English word 'geographical'.

Initially, 'geographical' meant 'writing about the earth', but over time it evolved to mean 'related to the physical features of the earth'.
