Morphology

nonpresence = presence (transparent) = non + presence

In computing contexts this is a direct negative formation ('not present' or 'not shown as available'), so it is transparent to learners who know 'presence' and 'non-'.

Etymology

The word nonpresence comes from non- 'not' and presence 'being there or available', as in being present online. So nonpresence means 'not online' or 'not shown as available'.
