Morphology

nonvanishing = vanishing (transparent) = non + vanish + ing

Formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'non-' to the adjectival/participial form 'vanishing', so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Nonvanishing is made of non- 'not' and vanish 'to disappear'. So it means 'not disappearing', and in math a nonvanishing value is one that still exists or is 'not zero'.
