Morphology

noninteracting = interacting (transparent) = non + interact + ing

The productive prefix 'non-' simply negates the participial form 'interacting', yielding 'not interacting', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Noninteracting comes from the prefix non- meaning 'not' and interact meaning 'to act with each other' or 'influence each other'. So it describes things that do not affect, influence, or react with each other.
