Morphology
nonmonogamous = monogamous (transparent) = non + monogamous
A simple negation formed by adding the productive prefix 'non-' to the familiar adjective 'monogamous', so the meaning is directly the negative of 'monogamous'.
Etymology
Nonmonogamous comes from non- 'not', mono- 'one', and -gamous 'married or paired', like in polygamy, so it means not limited to a single romantic or sexual partner.
