Morphology

nondealer = dealer (transparent) = non + dealer

Same productive negative prefixation: 'non-' + 'dealer' = 'not a dealer', a directly inferable noun.

Etymology

Nondealer comes from non- 'not' plus dealer, the person who 'deals' cards or sells goods. So a nondealer is someone who is not acting as the dealer, for example a player who must wait while the dealer deals.
