Morphology
nonsupplemental = supplemental (transparent) = non + supplement + al
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' to 'supplemental', producing the predictable opposite meaning.
Etymology
Nonsupplemental combines non- meaning 'not' and supplement meaning 'something added' or 'to fill', like a supplement pill or an extra chapter. So, nonsupplemental describes material that is not extra but part of the main content.
