Morphology

nonpartial = partial (transparent) = non + partial

The productive negating prefix 'non-' straightforwardly yields 'not biased' from 'partial', so the meaning is directly deducible.

Etymology

Nonpartial comes from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and partial meaning 'favoring one side', so the word literally says 'not favoring a side'. A nonpartial person or decision does not pick anyone and treats all sides equally and fairly.
