Morphology
nonperformance = performance (transparent) = non + perform + ance
Formed by the productive negating prefix 'non-' applied to the noun 'performance', creating a straightforward negative meaning.
Etymology
The word nonperformance combines non- meaning 'not' and performance meaning 'the act of doing or carrying out a task'. So nonperformance is simply 'not doing' what is required, which is why it refers to failing to meet a duty or obligation.
