'non-reproducible' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'reproducible', which comes from Latin 'reproducere', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'producere' meant 'to lead forth'.

'reproducere' transformed into the French word 'reproduire', and eventually became the modern English word 'reproduce', with 'non-' added to form 'non-reproducible'.

Initially, 'reproducere' meant 'to lead forth again', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'capable of being reproduced', with 'non-' indicating the opposite.
