Morphology

noninteractive = interactive (transparent) = non + interact + ive

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to the adjective 'interactive', yielding a straightforward negation.

Etymology

Noninteractive breaks into non- meaning 'not' and interactive, from inter- 'between' and act 'to do'. So, noninteractive means 'not' able to 'work with' you and describes things like a program that runs without asking the user.
