Morphology

nonmeaningful = meaningful (transparent) = non + mean + ing + ful

This is a straightforward negation of 'meaningful' by the prefix 'non-'.

Etymology

Nonmeaningful is made from the negative non- meaning 'not' and meaningful meaning 'having meaning' or 'purpose'. So, nonmeaningful simply means 'not having meaning' or 'without real purpose'.
