Etymology
'non-meteorological' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'meteorological' from Greek 'meteōrologia', where 'meteōron' meant 'thing high up' and 'logia' meant 'study of'.
'Meteorological' evolved from the Greek 'meteōrologia' to the modern English 'meteorological', with 'non-' added to denote negation.
Initially, 'meteorological' meant 'study of things high up', but now it refers to the study of weather, with 'non-' indicating exclusion from this field.
