Morphology

nonprivileged = privileged (transparent) = non + privilege + ed

The legal sense is a direct negation of 'privileged' (i.e., not covered by legal privilege) via the productive prefix 'non-'.

Etymology

Nonprivileged joins non- 'not' with privilege 'special legal protection'. So when a document or message is nonprivileged it is not protected and can be shared in court.
