Morphology
nondiscrimination = discrimination (transparent) = non + discrimination
A straightforward negation of 'discrimination' using the productive prefix 'non-'; learners who know 'discrimination' and 'non-' should derive the meaning.
Etymology
The word nondiscrimination begins with non- meaning 'not' and uses discriminate, which originally meant 'to tell the difference' or 'to separate'. So nondiscrimination is the idea of 'not separating' people unfairly and means treating everyone fairly and equally.
