Tips: Nondescript is used to describe something that cannot be described by any interesting or unique qualities. This is clear when you break nondescript down to "non" and "descript." Nondescript is also a noun, denoting a person who is uninteresting or unremarkable. For a memory trick, imagine someone asks you to describe the interesting parts of a movie, and as you try to do this, you realize there are "no" interesting parts to "describe." The movie was really nondescript and unremarkable.
