Morphology

noninclusive = inclusive (transparent) = non + include + ive

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'non-' to the adjective 'inclusive' (itself transparently from 'include' + '-ive'), so the negated meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Noninclusive is made of non- ('not') and inclusive ('including all'). In math, a noninclusive range does not include its end points or the final number.
