Morphology

nonpaid = paid (transparent) = non + paid

The negative prefix 'non-' attaches directly to the adjective 'paid', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not paid'.

Etymology

The word nonpaid is built from non- meaning 'not' and paid, from pay, which means 'to give money'. So nonpaid describes work or a position done 'without money' or 'not receiving payment'.
