'non-medicinally' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'medicinal,' which comes from Latin 'medicinalis,' meaning 'of or belonging to medicine.'

'medicinalis' transformed into the Old French word 'medicinal,' and eventually became the modern English word 'medicinal.' The prefix 'non-' was added to form 'non-medicinally.'

Initially, 'medicinal' meant 'pertaining to medicine,' and 'non-medicinally' evolved to mean 'in a manner not related to medicine.'
