Morphology
nonsensitive = sensitive (transparent) = non + sensitive
The meaning is a straightforward negation formed by the productive prefix 'non-' plus the adjective 'sensitive', so learners who know 'non-' and 'sensitive' can derive the meaning.
Etymology
The word nonsensitive is made from non- ('not') and sensitive (from sense, 'to feel' or 'be affected'), so it literally means 'not likely to be affected'; in modern use it refers to information that does not need special security or restrictions.
