nonverbalized = verbalized (transparent) = non + verbal + ize + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'non-' to 'verbalized' (verbal + -ize + -ed), yielding 'not expressed in words', a regular and directly derivable meaning.
Etymology
The word nonverbalized breaks into non- meaning 'not' and verbal meaning 'word' or 'speech', a bit like the common word verb. So, nonverbalized means something is 'not put into words', which is why it describes feelings or agreements shown without speaking.
