Morphology

nonrejection = rejection (transparent) = non + reject + ion

The meaning is directly derived by negating the noun 'rejection' with the productive prefix 'non-'; this is straightforward for learners familiar with 'non-' and 'rejection'.

Etymology

Nonrejection is made from non- meaning 'not' and rejection meaning 'refusal', with older parts that mean 'throw back', so it means 'not being refused or thrown away'. So, in medicine it describes a body accepting a transplanted organ, and in statistics it means you do not reject the idea you are testing.
