Etymology
'noncorresponding' originates from Modern English, specifically the prefix 'non-' (from Latin 'non' meaning 'not') + 'corresponding' (the present participle form of 'correspond').
'correspond' comes from Latin 'correspondere' (com- 'together' + respondere 'to answer'), passed into Old French as 'correspondre' and then into Middle English before forming the modern participle 'corresponding', to which the negative prefix 'non-' was attached to form 'noncorresponding'.
Initially, 'correspond' carried the sense 'to answer together' or 'to be in agreement'; over time it shifted toward the idea of 'matching' or 'being in conformity'. 'Noncorresponding' therefore means 'not matching' or 'not in conformity'.
