Morphology

nonjudicial = judicial (transparent) = non + judicial

Formed by the productive negative prefix 'non-' plus the adjective 'judicial', so the meaning 'not judicial' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nonjudicial breaks into non- meaning 'not' and judicial, which comes from the same word as the everyday word judge and 'judgment'. So, nonjudicial means 'not involving a court or judge', used for actions or settlements done outside the formal court process.
