Morphology

nonintegrable = integrable (transparent) = non + integrate + able

The adjective 'integrable' is a clear formation from 'integrate' + '-able', and the productive prefix 'non-' simply negates it.

Etymology

Nonintegrable is built from non- 'not' and integrable 'able to be integrated', where integrate means 'to combine' or 'make whole'. So a nonintegrable part is one that cannot be joined into a larger system.
