Surface Forms

Morphology

nonreconciliation = reconciliation (transparent) = non + reconcile + ation

The prefix 'non-' clearly negates the noun 'reconciliation', indicating a lack of reconciliation.

Etymology

Nonreconciliation is built from non- meaning 'not' and reconciliation meaning 'bringing together' or 'making agree', the same root as reconcile. So, nonreconciliation means the state of not being brought together or not reaching agreement, like accounts that do not match or countries that do not make peace.
