'non-static' is formed from the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'non', meaning 'not') combined with 'static' (from Greek 'statikos' via Latin/French), where 'non-' negates the base adjective 'static'.

'static' comes from Greek 'statikos' (meaning 'causing to stand'), passed into Latin and later Old French as 'statique', and then into English as 'static'. The prefix 'non-' (Latin 'non') was adopted into English compounds to negate adjectives, producing modern compounds like 'non-static' in recent English (especially in technical contexts).

Originally, 'static' meant 'standing' or 'causing to stand'; over time it came to mean 'not changing' or 'fixed' in contexts such as physics and computing. 'Non-static' simply negates that meaning and has acquired technical senses (e.g., instance-level in programming) in modern usage.
