Morphology

noncommitted = committed (transparent) = non + commit + ed

The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the adjective 'committed', indicating a lack of dedication or allocation.

Etymology

Noncommitted is made of the part non- 'not' and commit 'to promise or give to a use', as in commitment. So noncommitted means 'not promised or assigned' and is free to be used elsewhere.
