Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the English prefix non- (meaning 'not') combined with existent, which traces back to the Latin exsistentem, present participle of exsistere ('to step out, emerge, or exist'). It came into widespread use in the late 18th century to describe things that lack actual or factual being.
