Morphology
noninterventionist = interventionist (transparent) = non + intervention + ist

Etymology
A noninterventionist is built from non- 'not', intervene 'to step in', and the ending -ist (like in artist) meaning 'a person who'. So a noninterventionist is a person who prefers not to get involved in other countries' conflicts.
