Morphology
nongeographical = geographical (transparent) = non + geographical + non
The adjective is formed by the productive prefix 'non-' added to the adjective 'geographical', yielding the straightforward negated meaning.
Etymology
Nongeographical is made of non- meaning 'not' and geo- as in geography, where geo- means 'earth' or 'land'. So nongeographical means 'not about place or location', which is why we use it for things that are not tied to a physical place.
