Etymology
Non-operating is made of non- meaning 'not' and operate meaning 'to work' or 'run', so it literally means 'not working' or 'not involved in the main operations'. That's why companies call machines, assets, or costs 'non-operating' when they are not currently functioning or not part of normal business activity.
