Morphology

nonfisherman = fisherman (transparent) = non + fisherman

The noun is formed by adding the negative prefix 'non-' to the noun 'fisherman', yielding 'a person who is not a fisherman'—a transparent, productive formation.

Etymology

The word nonfisherman joins non- 'not' with fisherman 'someone who fishes', so it simply names a person who does not fish and might prefer hiking or birdwatching instead of fishing.
