Morphology
non-con = consensual (semi-transparent) = non + con
The prefix 'non-' clearly negates 'consensual', but 'con' as a standalone form is not standard.
Etymology
Non-con comes from the negative prefix non- meaning 'not' and the short con from consent, which means 'agreement' or 'permission'. So non-con describes a situation that happens 'without agreement' or is 'not consensual', often used for cases where someone did not give permission.
