Morphology
nonattachment = attachment (transparent) = non + attach + ment
A straightforward negative formation: 'non-' + 'attachment' yields 'not attached', which learners can infer from the parts.
Etymology
Nonattachment combines non- 'not' and attach 'to fasten or stick to', like when you attach a photo to a letter. So nonattachment means not fastening your feelings or life to people, things, or outcomes, which helps you stay calm and free.
