Morphology

nonretirement = retirement (transparent) = non + retire + ment

Formed by the negative prefix 'non-' added to the familiar noun 'retirement', so the meaning 'not retirement/continuing to work' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nonretirement combines non- ('not') with retirement, which comes from retire meaning 'to stop working or move into a quieter life'. So nonretirement as an adjective describes someone or something that is 'not' retired — still working or active instead of stopping work.
