Morphology
nonoccupational = occupational (transparent) = non + occupation + al
The word is formed by adding the productive negating prefix 'non-' to 'occupational', yielding a straightforward negation of 'relating to work'.
Etymology
The word nonoccupational breaks into non- 'not' and occupation 'job' or 'work', so it means 'not related to your job'. That's why an insurance policy that covers nonoccupational injuries pays for harm that happens outside of work.
