The negative prefix 'non-' is directly attached to the adjective 'proportional', producing the clear opposite meaning.
Etymology
The word nonproportional starts with non- meaning 'not' and the part proportion meaning 'a balanced part or size', and you can see the same idea in the word portion, which means 'a part'. So, nonproportional describes things that do not keep the same size or amount compared with each other, which is why we use it for unequal or mismatched changes.
