Morphology

nonchallenging = challenging (transparent) = non + challenge + ing

The prefix 'non-' simply negates the adjective 'challenging' (in the sense 'stimulating'), yielding 'not stimulating' which is a direct semantic composition.

Etymology

Nonchallenging also breaks into non- ('not') and challenge ('something that makes you think or feel excited'), so in this sense nonchallenging means 'not mentally or emotionally interesting' and is used for things that are dull or unexciting.
