Morphology

unamazed = amazed (transparent) = un + amaze + ed

The immediate base 'amazed' is clearly 'amaze' + '-ed' and the negative prefix 'un-' directly negates that adjective.

Etymology

The word unamazed is made from un- 'not' and amaze 'to fill with wonder'. So, unamazed means 'not surprised' or 'not impressed'.
