Morphology

noneffervescent = effervescent (transparent) = non + effervescent

The adjective is formed by straightforward negation 'non-' + the adjective 'effervescent', so the meaning 'not bubbly' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Noneffervescent is built from non- ('not') plus effervescent, which comes from a word meaning 'to bubble up'—think of soda that 'fizzes' or sparkling water. So noneffervescent means 'not bubbling', a flat liquid with no fizz or sparkle.
