Morphology

nonreplication = replication (transparent) = non + replication

In computing the prefix 'non-' negates the noun 'replication' (copying across systems), so the meaning 'failure or omission to copy' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Nonreplication comes from non- meaning 'not' and replication meaning 'to copy' or 'to repeat'. In computing a nonreplication means important files were not copied to backups or other systems, so data can be lost.
