Morphology
transparent = trans + par + ent
The 'open and honest' sense is a further metaphorical extension of the literal 'see-through' idea, so learners can relate it to the parts but it is figurative.
Etymology
Transparent comes from Latin parts trans- 'across' and parere 'to show', and by extension it describes a person or process that 'shows' everything and hides nothing, so being transparent means being open and honest.
