Morphology
nontransferable = transferable (transparent) = non + transfer + able
The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the meaning of 'transferable'.
Etymology
Nontransferable is made of three parts: non- meaning 'not', transfer meaning 'to move to someone else', and -able meaning 'can be'. So a nontransferable ticket or pass is literally 'not able to be moved to another person', which is why you cannot give it to a friend.
