Morphology

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

Built by prefixing 'un-' to 'attracted' (attract + -ed); the sense 'not pulled toward by a force' is a direct negation.

Etymology

The word unattracted breaks into un- and attract, where un- means 'not' and attract comes from a word meaning 'to pull', as in tractor. So when an object is unattracted by a magnet or gravity, it is not 'pulled' toward that force.
