Morphology
nonconsenting = consenting (transparent) = non + consent + ing
The productive negating prefix 'non-' attaches to 'consenting' (consent+ing) and yields the straightforward negated meaning 'not giving consent'.
Etymology
Nonconsenting comes from non- meaning 'not' and consent meaning 'permission' or 'agreement'. So nonconsenting describes someone who is 'not giving permission' or 'not agreeing'.
