Morphology

nonpregnant = pregnant + non (transparent) = non + pregnant

A straightforward negative prefix 'non-' added to the common adjective 'pregnant', so the meaning 'not pregnant' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nonpregnant is made of non- meaning 'not' and pregnant, the same root as pregnancy, which comes from a Latin word meaning 'with child'. So, nonpregnant simply means 'not carrying a baby'.
