Morphology
noncompensable = compensable (transparent) = non + compensate + able
The negating prefix 'non-' straightforwardly reverses the meaning of the adjective 'compensable', yielding 'not compensable'.
Etymology
Noncompensable is made of non- meaning 'not' and compensable, from compensate meaning 'make up for' or 'balance', as in compensation. So a noncompensable injury or damage is something the body or treatment cannot 'balance' or fix.
