Etymology
'non-procreator' originates from Latin, specifically the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the root 'procreator' from 'procreare,' where 'pro-' meant 'forth' and 'creare' meant 'to create.'
'procreare' transformed into the English word 'procreate,' and eventually the modern English term 'non-procreator' was formed by adding the prefix 'non-' to indicate the absence of creation.
Initially, it meant 'not creating offspring,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
