noneducational = educational (transparent) = non + education + al
The prefix 'non-' productively negates the adjective 'educational', yielding 'not related to education' which is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word noneducational starts with non-, which means 'not', and the rest comes from educate, which means 'to teach' or 'to bring up'. So it means 'not related to teaching or learning'.
