Morphology

nonfatty = fatty (transparent) = non + fat + y

The adjective 'fatty' is a straightforward derivation of 'fat' + '-y', and adding the productive negative prefix 'non-' yields the expected opposite meaning.

Etymology

Nonfatty joins non- meaning 'not' with fatty, from the word fat which means 'the oily part of food'. So nonfatty means 'not full of fat' or having little or no fat, like 'nonfat' yogurt.
