nonrandomized = randomized (transparent) = non + random + ize + ed
The negative prefix 'non-' attached to 'randomized' yields the straightforward meaning 'not randomized', which learners can deduce from the parts.
Etymology
The word nonrandomized begins with non- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from random meaning 'by chance'. So a nonrandomized study is one where people are put into groups by choice or rule, not by chance, which can affect how fair the results are.
