Morphology
nonexperimental = experimental (transparent) = non + experiment + al
The prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'experimental', yielding the expected meaning 'not experimental'.
Etymology
Nonexperimental combines non- meaning 'not' and experimental meaning 'trying new methods or ideas', so it describes art, writing, or design that does not try new forms but uses familiar, traditional styles.
