Morphology
nondistressed = distressed (transparent) = non + distress + ed
The negating prefix 'non-' combines straightforwardly with the adjective 'distressed' to mean 'not distressed'.
Etymology
Nondistressed breaks into non- meaning 'not' and distress, a word that originally meant 'pressure' or damage to things; distress is like strong 'stress'. So a nondistressed item is not worn or made to look old and stays in normal, undamaged condition.
