Morphology
antidiscrimination = discrimination (transparent) = anti + discrimination
The noun sense is still transparently built from 'anti-' plus 'discrimination', referring to policies or practices opposed to discrimination.
Etymology
Antidiscrimination combines the prefix anti- meaning 'against' and discrimination meaning 'treating people unfairly', so as a noun it means a policy or practice that tries to stop unfair treatment.
