Morphology

nonaristocratic = aristocratic (transparent) = non + aristocrat + ic

The meaning is directly compositional: 'non-' simply negates 'aristocratic', and the noun sense is a standard substantive use of that adjective.

Etymology

Nonaristocratic as a noun is made from non- 'not' and aristocratic (from aristocrat, 'a member of the upper class'). So a nonaristocratic is an ordinary person or 'commoner' who is not a noble.
