Morphology
unacceptance = acceptance (transparent) = un + accept + ance
The negative prefix 'un-' is added to the noun 'acceptance' to yield the state of not accepting; this is a straightforward, productive formation.
Etymology
Unacceptance is formed from the negative un- and acceptance, where accept means 'to take' or 'to welcome'. So unacceptance is the state of 'not accepting' or 'not being accepted', like when someone is not welcomed into a group.
