Morphology
nonsubscriber = subscriber (transparent) = non + subscriber
Same productive negation applies: 'non-' + 'subscriber' denotes someone who does not sign or agree.
Etymology
Nonsubscriber comes from non- 'not' plus subscriber, from subscribe 'to sign under' (same root as scribe 'writer'). So a nonsubscriber is a person who does not sign or formally agree to a document or pledge.
