Morphology

nonteaching = teaching (transparent) = non + teach + ing

Formed by the productive prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' added to the gerund/noun 'teaching', so the meaning 'not involved in teaching' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Nonteaching is made from the parts non- 'not' and teach 'to give lessons', with -ing to make it a description. So, nonteaching means 'not involved in teaching'.
