nontrump

Not the boss

Nontrump describes a card that is not of the trump suit in trick-taking games like bridge or euchre.

When hearts are trump, any spade, diamond, or club played is a nontrump card.

A nontrump bid or contract in bridge means no suit has been designated as trump—what's called "no-trump."
