Morphology

nondisabled = disabled (transparent) = non + disabled

Built by adding 'non-' to 'disabled'; the shift from adjective to a noun use (people referred to collectively) is a simple zero-derivation and does not obscure the negative relation.

Etymology

Nondisabled as a noun uses the same parts: non- 'not' and able 'can', so the phrase 'the nondisabled' simply means the people who do not have disabilities. A helpful way to remember is to think of it as the group of people who are not disabled.
