Morphology
nondelegation = delegation (transparent) = non + delegate + ion
Formed by straightforward negation of 'delegation' with the productive prefix 'non-', meaning 'the absence of delegation'.
Etymology
The word nondelegation starts with non- meaning 'not' and the part delegate meaning 'to give work or authority to someone else'. So nondelegation means 'not giving' tasks to others, which helps explain why a manager who practices nondelegation keeps too much work for themselves.
