Morphology

nonsexually = nonsexual (transparent) = non + sexual + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to the transparent adjective 'nonsexual', so the adverbial meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Nonsexually is made of non- meaning 'not', the part sexual meaning 'about sex', and -ly which makes it an adverb, as in nonstop showing the use of non-. So nonsexually means 'in a way that is not sexual'.
