Morphology

noncustodial = custodial (transparent) = non + custodial

The prefix 'non-' negates 'custodial' to indicate absence of third-party custody or management, a direct compositional relation.

Etymology

Noncustodial comes from non- 'not' and custody 'care or keeping', like in custodian. So a noncustodial wallet means you, not a bank or other keeper, hold and control your own digital assets.
