Morphology
noncooperative = cooperative (transparent) = non + cooperate + ive
The negation 'non-' applied to 'cooperative' yields a straightforward sense of 'not cooperative', including in technical or situational uses (e.g., noncooperative model).
Etymology
Noncooperative breaks into non- meaning 'not' and cooperative, which comes from co- 'together' and operate 'work'. So, a noncooperative situation or model is one where people or groups do not 'work together' or make agreements and each acts alone.
