Surface Forms

Morphology

nonaccomplishment = accomplishment (transparent) = non + accomplish + ment

The word is transparently formed by negating 'accomplishment' with the productive prefix 'non-'.

Etymology

Nonaccomplishment is built from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and the verb accomplish (as in accomplishment) meaning 'to finish or do something successfully'. So nonaccomplishment means the 'not finishing' or failure to reach a planned goal.
