Morphology

unalarmed = alarmed (transparent) = un + alarm + ed

Standard negation (un-) applied to the adjective 'alarmed' (feeling worried), so the meaning is directly and predictably derived.

Etymology

Unalarmed is made of un- ('not') and alarm, which began as the battle cry all'arme meaning 'to the arms' and later came to mean a warning or a feeling of fear (think 'alarm bell'). So, in the sense of a person, unalarmed means 'not feeling worried or frightened'.
