Morphology

non-executive = executive (transparent) = non + executive

A clear negation prefix 'non-' attaches to the adjective 'executive', directly yielding the meaning 'not executive' in the organisational sense.

Etymology

Non-executive comes from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and executive meaning 'to carry out' or 'manage'. So a non-executive role is one that is 'not' involved in the day-to-day running or management of an organisation.
