Morphology

noncommunist = communist (transparent) = non + communist

The prefix 'non-' negates the noun 'communist' to denote a person who is not a communist; this is a regular, transparent formation.

Etymology

A noncommunist comes from non- meaning 'not' plus communist, a word from 'common' or 'shared' like common and community, so a noncommunist is a person who does not support the idea of shared ownership or the Communist party.
