Morphology
noninterventionist = interventionist (transparent) = non + intervention + ist
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'non-' to 'interventionist', producing the clear opposite meaning.
Etymology
Noninterventionist breaks into non- 'not' and intervention from intervene 'to step in' or 'come between'. So, a noninterventionist policy is one that means 'not stepping in' to other countries' affairs.
