Morphology

nonsubjective = subjective (transparent) = non + subject + ive

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to the clear adjective 'subjective', so the negated meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Nonsubjective is made from non- meaning 'not' and subjective, which is about a person's own view or feeling, while objective means 'based on facts'. So, nonsubjective means 'not based on personal feelings' but on facts and evidence.
