Morphology

nonstriking = striking (transparent) = non + strike + ing

The participial adjective 'striking' (involving hits) is simply negated by 'non-', so the meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Nonstriking is made of non- 'not' plus striking, where strike means 'to hit'. In martial arts, nonstriking means 'without hitting', using throws or holds instead of blows.
