(non-nationalistic)
not in a nationalistic way
Etymology
'non-nationalistically' originates from the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'non' meaning 'not') combined with 'national' from French 'national' (from Latin 'natio' meaning 'birth, people') and the adverbial suffix '-ly'.
'non-nationalistically' developed from Latin 'natio' -> French 'national' -> English 'national' -> adjective 'nationalistic' -> prefixed form 'non-nationalistic' -> adverbial form 'non-nationalistically'.
Initially the root 'natio' referred to 'birth' or 'people'; over time 'national' and 'nationalistic' came to relate to political or cultural loyalty to a nation, and 'non-nationalistically' now means 'not in a nationalistic manner'.
