The negating prefix 'non-' is directly applied to 'participating', yielding a clear negative adjective meaning 'not taking part'.

Etymology

The word nonparticipating is made from non- meaning 'not' and participate meaning 'to take part' or 'share', coming from a root that means part. Think of a cake: participating owners get a slice of profit, while nonparticipating ones do not, so they do not share in dividends.
