Morphology

inconscient = conscious (semi-transparent) = in + conscient

The prefix 'in-' negates 'conscious', but the spelling change from 'conscious' to 'conscient' may confuse learners.

Etymology

Inconscient comes from the parts in- meaning 'not' and conscient meaning 'aware', and it shares the same root as English conscious and conscience. So an inconscient action is one you do without being aware of it, like an automatic or unintentional movement.
