Morphology

non-issue = issue (transparent) = non + issue

Formed by the productive negative prefix 'non-' attached to 'issue', so the meaning is directly derived as 'not an issue'.

Etymology

The word non-issue is made of non- meaning 'not' and issue meaning 'a matter' or 'a problem'. So a non-issue is something that is not a real problem or is no longer worth talking about.
