Morphology
nonconcurrent = concurrent (transparent) = non + concurrent
The negative prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'concurrent', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Nonconcurrent comes from non- 'not' plus concurrent, which comes from a root meaning 'run' or 'flow', like the everyday word current. So nonconcurrent describes things that do 'not' happen 'together' — they do not occur at the same time.
