Morphology

noncardiac = cardiac (transparent) = non + cardiac

The negative prefix 'non-' with the adjective 'cardiac' yields the simple negation 'not related to the heart', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word noncardiac combines non- meaning 'not' and cardiac meaning 'of the heart', like 'cardio' in 'cardio exercise', so it simply means 'not related to the heart'.
