Morphology

nondistressed = distressed (transparent) = non + distress + ed

The negation 'non-' applies to the financial sense of 'distressed' (under economic or legal pressure), producing the straightforward sense 'not distressed/financially stable'.

Etymology

Nondistressed breaks into non- meaning 'not' and distress, which can mean 'trouble' or 'financial pressure'. So a nondistressed company or asset is not under financial pressure and is seen as financially stable.
