Etymology
'non-territorial' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'territorial' which comes from Latin 'territorialis', meaning 'of or relating to land or territory'.
'territorialis' transformed into the English word 'territorial', and with the addition of the prefix 'non-', it became 'non-territorial'.
Initially, 'territorial' meant 'related to land or territory', but with the prefix 'non-', it evolved to mean 'not related to any specific territory'.
