Morphology

nonmobile = mobile (transparent) = non + mobile

The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'non-' to 'mobile', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not mobile'.

Etymology

The word nonmobile is built from non- meaning 'not' and mobile meaning 'able to move', the same mobile you see in automobile. So nonmobile means something that cannot move or is fixed in place.
