Morphology

nonremittal = remittal (transparent) = non + remittal + remit

Formed by straightforward negation non- + remittal (failure to remit); the meaning is the direct opposite of 'remittal', though 'remittal' itself is somewhat uncommon.

Etymology

Nonremittal is built from non- meaning 'not' and remit meaning 'to send or pay', the same root you see in remittance. So, nonremittal means not sending or paying money that is due.
