Morphology
nonquantitative = quantitative (transparent) = non + quantitative
Productive prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' attached to the adjective 'quantitative', so the meaning 'not quantitative' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Nonquantitative breaks into non- ('not') and quantitative, which comes from the common word quantity meaning 'amount' or 'how much'. So a nonquantitative approach is one that does not use numbers or counts but looks at words, experiences, or ideas instead.
