Morphology
noninterference = interference (transparent) = non + interfere + ence
The word is a straightforward negation: 'non-' + the noun 'interference' = 'not interfering', which a learner can derive from the parts.
Etymology
Noninterference begins with non- meaning 'not' and the rest is interfere, which means 'to come between' or 'get involved'. So, noninterference is the idea of 'not coming between' other people's or other countries' affairs, which is why it means a policy of not getting involved.
