Morphology

nondynamic = dynamic (transparent) = non + dynamic

The adjective is the direct negation of 'dynamic' using the productive prefix 'non-', so learners who know 'dynamic' and 'non-' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

The word nondynamic combines non- ('not') and dynamic ('full of change or power'), just like the common word dynamic. So, nondynamic means 'not changing' or 'not active', which is why we use it for something static or fixed.
