Morphology

nonrelease = release (transparent) = non + release

The form 'non-' + 'release' transparently denotes failure to release (e.g., a mechanism), which learners can derive from known morphemes.

Etymology

Nonrelease is made from the part non- meaning 'not' and the verb release meaning 'to let go' or 'to open'. So a nonrelease is the failure of a lock, valve, or brake to open or let go as it should.
