NONPLUS Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "nonplus" primarily functions as a verb and can also be alternatively used as a noun. When used as a verb, it refers to the act of causing someone to be utterly perplexed, confused, or unable to respond. It can be seen as a state of being rendered speechless or at a loss for words due to being caught off-guard or surprised by a situation or statement. To nonplus someone is to leave them feeling bewildered, dumbfounded, or stranded with no immediate course of action or response. It often implies a sense of mental disorientation or perplexity.

    As a noun, "nonplus" can indicate a state of total confusion or a state of being completely unable to comprehend or react. However, the noun usage is less common compared to its verb form. It may correspondingly denote a feeling of being at a complete standstill or at a loss as to how to proceed.

    The term "nonplus" originates from the Latin phrase "non plus," which translates to "no more." The combination of Latin roots "non" (meaning "not") and "plus" (meaning "more") emphasizes the notion that when someone is nonplussed, they have reached a point where no further explanation or response is possible, ultimately surpassing the limits of their understanding or capability to react. Overall, nonplus captures the essence of being completely dumbfounded or bewildered, conveying a state of mental paralysis or confusion.

  2. • A condition or state of things in which one can do no more, or is unable to proceed; an insuperable difficulty.
    • To put or bring to a stand; to perplex completely; to puzzle.
