Morphology

nondomination = domination (transparent) = non + dominate + ion

The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the noun 'domination', forming a noun that represents the absence of domination.

Etymology

Nondomination is built from non- meaning 'not' and domin- meaning 'to rule' or 'be master', the same root you see in dominate and domain. So nondomination is the idea or condition of 'not being ruled' by others and that no one should have power over you.
