Morphology

unattracted = attracted (transparent) = un + attract + ed

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'attracted' (attract + -ed), giving the straightforward meaning 'not attracted'.

Etymology

The word unattracted breaks into un- and attract, where un- means 'not' and attract comes from a word meaning 'to pull', the same idea you see in tractor. So if someone is unattracted to a person or idea, they are not 'pulled' toward it and feel no interest.
