nonevent \non-i-VENT\ noun 1. an occurrence of only superficial interest or content; a dull or insignificant occasion. 2. an event or situation that is anticipated but does not occur or occurs with much less than the expected impact, especially one that has been widely publicized; anticlimax. Quotes A non-event, says Phil, is better to write about than an event, because with a non-event you can make up the meaning yourself, it means whatever you say it means. -- Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard's Egg, 1983 Origin Nonevent came to English in the mid-1900s as a combination of non- and event.
