Morphology
nonaccredited = accredited (transparent) = non + accredit + ed
The legal sense is a direct negation of 'accredited' by 'non-', so the formation is regular and literal.
Etymology
Nonaccredited comes from non- 'not' and accredit, from the same root as credit meaning 'trust'. So a nonaccredited investor is someone who does not have the official trust or status for certain private investments, and that is why they are not allowed to take part in those deals.
