Morphology

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

The structure 'non-' + 'integrable' is a regular negation of the mathematically formed adjective 'integrable'.

Etymology

Nonintegrable comes from non- 'not' and integrable 'able to be integrated', and in math integrate means 'to find the total' or 'find an area'. So nonintegrable means you cannot find the usual integral for that function.
