Morphology

non-radiation = radiation (transparent) = non + radiation

The negative prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the noun 'radiation', producing the literal meaning 'absence of radiation'.

Etymology

Non-radiation comes from the prefix non- 'not' plus radiation, which has a root meaning 'ray' or 'beam'. So a non-radiation device or method is one that does not give off rays, which is why the word describes equipment or techniques that do not emit harmful radiation.
