Morphology

nonsubscription = subscription (semi-transparent) = non + subscribe + tion

Formation by non- + subscription is regular, but the specific sense 'not signing/assenting to a formal statement' is somewhat specialized and may not be obvious to learners who know 'subscription' mainly as a payment.

Etymology

Nonsubscription combines non- ('not') with subscription, a word that originally meant 'to write under' or 'to sign'. So, nonsubscription is the act of not signing or not agreeing to a formal statement or creed.
