Morphology

nondefective = defective (transparent) = non + defect + ive

The negative prefix 'non-' directly negates the adjective 'defective', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not defective'.

Etymology

The word nondefective is made of non- meaning 'not' and defect meaning 'a fault or problem', so a nondefective item has no faults and works as it should.
