Morphology

noncarbonated = carbonated (transparent) = non + carbonate + ed

The meaning is a straightforward negation of 'carbonated' using the productive negative prefix 'non-'.

Etymology

Noncarbonated begins with non- meaning 'not' and the carbon part comes from 'carbon dioxide', the gas that makes soda fizzy. So noncarbonated means a drink that does 'not' have that fizz and is 'not fizzy'.
