Morphology
nondoctrinaire = doctrinaire (transparent) = non + doctrinaire
The prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'doctrinaire', so the meaning is directly 'not doctrinaire'.
Etymology
The word nondoctrinaire combines non- ('not') with doctrine ('a fixed teaching or belief'). So a nondoctrinaire person is 'not' tied to fixed ideas and is open and flexible in thinking.
