Morphology

nonconcentric = concentric (transparent) = non + concentric

The adjective is formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to the familiar adjective 'concentric', so the meaning 'not sharing the same center' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Nonconcentric is made of non- 'not' and concentric, where con- means 'together' and centric means 'center'. So nonconcentric describes rings or circles that do 'not' share the same 'center', the opposite of concentric circles.
