not involving logging
Etymology
'non-logging' is formed in English by combining the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' with the noun 'logging', which refers to the activity of cutting down trees for timber.
The prefix 'non-' has been used in English since the Middle English period to indicate negation, and 'logging' has been used since the 18th century to refer to the act of cutting trees. The compound 'non-logging' emerged in modern English to describe policies or areas where logging does not occur.
Initially, 'non-logging' simply meant 'not logging', and it continues to be used in this sense, especially in environmental and forestry contexts.
