We usually the term nonmagnetic (or possibly amagnetic) to mean not magnetic. That's the opposite of magnetic, and it means the thing described has no magnetic field impressed upon it, nor will it accept one if it is applied to that thing. Nonferrous and nonmagnetic tools, for example, are used on things that are highly sensitive to damage from magnetic fields. These tools not only are not magnetized, they cannot be magnetized. They won't be attracted to a magnet.

What is a pole on a magnet?

The poles of a magnet are the ends of the core of the magnet, where the lines of force emerge. An experiment with iron filings shows the lines of force, by putting a sheet of paper over the magnet and sprinkling fine iron filings. This is an easy thing to do at home. For a bar magnet the poles will be at opposite ends. If you have two such magnets you can experiment and find that like poles repel, opposite poles attract.
