Morphology
nondisabled = disabled (transparent) = non + disabled
The word is built by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to 'disabled' (in the sense 'turned off'), so the meaning 'not disabled' = 'enabled/operational' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Nondisabled breaks into non- 'not' and able 'can', and because to 'disable' something often means to 'turn it off', nondisabled can mean 'not turned off' or 'working'. That's why we also use nondisabled for equipment, systems, or accounts that are enabled and able to operate.
