Morphology

nonreception = reception (transparent) = non + reception

The prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the noun 'reception', so the meaning 'not receiving' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word nonreception comes from non- meaning 'not' and reception meaning 'the act of receiving', the same root you see in receive. So nonreception simply means the state of 'not receiving' something, like a missing package or a lost signal.
