Morphology
nonaffiliated = affiliated (transparent) = non + affiliate + ed
Adding the negative prefix 'non-' to 'affiliated' yields the expected meaning of not being connected with a group or organization.
Etymology
Nonaffiliated as a noun uses the same parts: non- 'not' and affiliate 'to belong to a group'. So, a nonaffiliated is a person who is 'not a member' of any organization or party.
