Morphology

nondeductible = deductible (transparent) = non + deduct + ible

Formed by negating the clear adjective 'deductible' with the productive prefix 'non-', so the meaning follows directly.

Etymology

Nondeductible comes from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and deductible meaning 'can be taken off your taxes', so it names an expense you cannot subtract from your taxable income.
