Morphology
nonachievement = achievement (transparent) = non + achieve + ment
The productive negative prefix 'non-' is simply attached to the noun 'achievement', producing a predictable meaning of absence.
Etymology
Nonachievement is made from the parts non- meaning 'not' and achievement, from achieve, meaning 'to reach' or 'finish' a goal. So, nonachievement means 'not reaching' a wanted result or promise.
