Morphology
non-negotiable = negotiable (transparent) = non + negotiate + able
The adjective is formed by adding 'non-' to 'negotiable' in its sense 'open to negotiation', so the negated meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
Non-negotiable is made of non- 'not' and negotiate 'to talk or make a deal', so when a rule or deadline is non-negotiable it cannot be discussed or changed.
