Morphology

nonmigrating = migrating (transparent) = non + migrate + ing

Formed by the negative prefix 'non-' attached to 'migrating', so the meaning 'not migrating' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word nonmigrating is made of non- ('not') and migrate ('to move' or 'change place'), the same idea you see in migration or migrant. So in computing a nonmigrating process or virtual machine stays on the same server and is not moved to another host.
