Morphology
nonestablishment = establishment (transparent) = non + establish + ment
The negative prefix 'non-' combines with the common noun 'establishment' (established institutions), so the noun sense 'people or state of not being part of the establishment' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Nonestablishment comes from non- 'not' plus establishment 'the people or institutions in power', from establish 'to set up' and related to stable. So the nonestablishment means 'the people or groups who are not part of the group in charge' and describes the state of being outside the establishment.
