Morphology
noninflationary = inflationary (transparent) = non + inflation + ary
The prefix 'non-' negates the adjective 'inflationary', which is itself transparently formed from 'inflation' + '-ary'.
Etymology
Noninflationary starts with non- meaning 'not' and the rest is inflation, which means 'a rise in prices' and comes from inflate meaning 'to blow up'. Think of a balloon: if you do not blow it up it stays small, so noninflationary describes something that does not make prices 'blow up' or rise.
