/ˌnɒnkənˈfɔːmɪst//ˌnɑːnkənˈfɔːrmɪst/

"Nonconformist" emerged in the 16th century, initially referring to those who refused to conform to the established Church of England during the Elizabethan era. The word combines the prefix "non-" meaning "not" with "conformist," which comes from the Latin "conformis" meaning "similar" or "in agreement with." Therefore, "nonconformist" signifies someone who does not comply with prevailing norms, customs, or beliefs, particularly those of a dominant group or institution.
