Morphology

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

Non- simply negates the ordinary noun 'subscription' (here 'subscription' = subscribing to a service or publication), which is a straightforward and predictable formation.

Etymology

Nonsubscription combines non- ('not') with subscription, the same idea you know from a magazine or service where you 'sign up' or pay regularly. So, nonsubscription means not signing up for a publication, service, membership, or payment plan.
