Morphology

nontrade = trade (transparent) = non + trade

The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the root 'trade', indicating something outside regular trade activities.

Etymology

As a noun, nontrade comes from non- 'not' plus trade 'buying and selling' and names an item or payment that is 'not part of a company's regular sales', like tax payments or interest.
