Morphology

nonmoney = money (transparent) = non + money

The meaning is directly derived from the productive prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' attached to 'money', so learners can infer 'not money'.

Etymology

Nonmoney comes from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and the word money meaning 'cash'. So when something is called nonmoney, it is a benefit or reward that is 'not money', like extra vacation days or praise.
