Morphology
nonacceptance = acceptance (transparent) = non + accept + ance
The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the noun 'acceptance', resulting in a straightforward meaning of 'not accepting'.
Etymology
Nonacceptance breaks down into non- meaning 'not' and accept, seen in acceptance, meaning 'to take'. So nonacceptance is the act of 'not taking' or rejecting something like an offer.
