Morphology
nonjudgmental = judgmental (transparent) = non + judgment + al
Formed by adding the productive negation prefix 'non-' to 'judgmental', so the meaning is directly 'not judgmental'.
Etymology
The word nonjudgmental is made from non- meaning 'not' and judgment from judge, meaning 'a decision or opinion about someone'. So nonjudgmental means 'not making judgments' about others, which is why it describes a kind, open, and accepting attitude.
