Morphology
nonautomotive = automotive (transparent) = non + automotive
This is a straightforward negative prefixation: 'non-' simply means 'not', so the meaning is directly the negation of 'automotive'.
Etymology
Nonautomotive breaks into non- meaning 'not' and auto (as in automobile, 'car'), so nonautomotive simply means 'not related to cars or car parts'.
