Etymology: "Nonissues" is simply the plural of "nonissue," a compound formed from the prefix "non-" meaning "not" and the noun "issue," which in this sense means a matter for debate or concern. The combination describes something that looks like a dispute but is not really one. Because the word is built transparently from familiar parts, its meaning follows directly from them: a point that might seem to call for argument but does not deserve serious attention.

Synonyms: trivialities, insignificances, nonentities, irrelevances, petty matters

Antonyms: issues, concerns, challenges, problems, topics
