Morphology
nondiscriminating = discriminating (transparent) = non + discriminate + ing
The adjective is formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to 'discriminating', so the meaning is directly the negative of the base.
Etymology
Nondiscriminating is made from non- ('not') and discriminate ('to tell things apart' or 'separate'), so it literally means 'not making those differences'. That's why a nondiscriminating policy or rule treats everyone the same and shows no bias.
