Morphology

nondomestic = domestic (transparent) = non + domestic

A straightforward negative formed from 'domestic' meaning 'relating to the home or country', so the meaning 'not domestic' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word nondomestic is made from non- 'not' and domestic 'of the home' or 'within a country'. So it means 'not at home', used for things like services, buildings, or business activity that is outside the home or in another country.
