Morphology
unattractive = attractive (transparent) = un + attract + ive
The productive prefix 'un-' directly negates the adjective 'attractive', yielding a straightforward 'not attractive' meaning.
Etymology
Unattractive begins with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from attract, from a root meaning 'to pull', like in tractor. So an unattractive offer or idea does not 'pull' interest or buyers, which is why it feels lacking in appeal.
