Morphology
nondistressed = distressed (transparent) = non + distress + ed
The productive negator 'non-' combines with the emotional sense of 'distressed' to yield 'not emotionally distressed'; the relation is straightforward.
Etymology
Nondistressed breaks into non- meaning 'not' and distress, which also means 'worry' or emotional pain and is like strong 'stress'. So a nondistressed person is calm and not anxious or upset.
