Morphology

nonpolarizing = polarizing (transparent) = non + polar + ize + ing

Morphologically this is the negation of 'polarizing' and thus directly means 'not creating polarity or division' across social or electrical senses.

Etymology

Nonpolarizing combines non- 'not' and polarize 'to split into opposite sides', like the North and South poles or people divided into two groups. So a nonpolarizing statement or material does not create opposing sides or electrical poles.
