Morphology

nonstudent = student (transparent) = non + student

The noun is formed by negating 'student' with the productive prefix 'non-', making the referent 'a person who is not a student' directly derivable.

Etymology

Nonstudent comes from the non- part meaning 'not' and student meaning 'a person who studies', so as a noun it simply means 'a person who is not a student'.
