Morphology
nondisruptive = disruptive (transparent) = non + disrupt + ive
Clear negative prefix 'non-' attached to the adjective 'disruptive', yielding 'not causing disruption'.
Etymology
Nondisruptive joins non- ('not') with disrupt, which comes from a root meaning 'break' and appears in the common word interrupt ('break in'). So nondisruptive describes something that does not 'break' the normal flow or cause a disturbance.
