nonmobile positive

Morphology

nonmobile = mobile (transparent) = non + mobile

Formed by adding the negating prefix 'non-' to 'mobile' used attributively (as in 'mobile application'), producing 'not suitable for mobile devices'.

Etymology

The word nonmobile comes from non- 'not' plus mobile 'able to move', and a helpful way to remember it is to think of a site that does not work on a mobile phone. So nonmobile in tech use means 'not designed for phones or tablets'.
