Morphology

antigraft = graft (transparent) = anti + graft

The meaning is directly compositional: anti- plus graft, meaning opposed to graft, whether understood as corruption or tissue transplantation.

Etymology

Antigraft comes from anti- ('against') and graft ('bribe' or 'a piece of tissue used in surgery'), so it describes rules or actions that are against corruption or, in medicine, against tissue grafting.
