not to be reported
Etymology
'nonreportable' originates from English, specifically formed by combining the negative prefix 'non-' with the adjective 'reportable' (from 'report' + suffix '-able').
'reportable' comes from the verb 'report' (from Old French 'reporter' and Latin 'reportare'), with the adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able to be'. 'nonreportable' is a Modern English formation that negates 'reportable' by adding 'non-'.
Initially, 'report' meant 'to carry back' or 'bring back' in Latin; over time 'reportable' came to mean 'able to be reported,' and 'nonreportable' directly developed to mean 'not able or not required to be reported' without major semantic shift.
