Morphology

nonsegregated = segregated (transparent) = non + segregate + ed

A straightforward negative prefix 'non-' is attached to the adjective 'segregated', yielding the literal meaning 'not segregated'.

Etymology

Nonsegregated comes from non- ('not') plus segregate ('to separate groups'), and the same root appears in congregate ('come together') to show the idea of groups. So a nonsegregated place is 'not separated' by race, religion, or other differences and is open to everyone.
