Morphology

nonglare = glare (transparent) = non + glare

The prefix 'non-' simply negates or indicates absence of 'glare', so the meaning is directly inferable from 'glare' by learners familiar with the prefix.

Etymology

Nonglare starts with non- meaning 'not' and the word glare meaning 'strong bright light that makes it hard to see', like in nonstop or nonsense for the 'not' part. So something described as nonglare reduces or stops bright reflections to make surfaces easier to see.
