'nonaddictiveness' originates from English, specifically the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'addictiveness,' where 'addict' meant 'to devote or give oneself habitually.'

'nonaddictiveness' changed from the English word 'addictiveness' by adding the prefix 'non-' to indicate the opposite meaning, eventually becoming the modern English word 'nonaddictiveness'.

Initially, it meant 'not having the quality of causing addiction,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
