Morphology

unbaffled = baffled (transparent) = un + baffle + ed

Formed by straightforward negation: un- + 'baffled' (past participle/adjective), so meaning 'not confused' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unbaffled is made of un- 'not' and baffle 'to confuse or block understanding', so it literally means 'not confused'. A helpful image is a person walking through a puzzle that does not stop them, which is why unbaffled describes someone who is not puzzled or thrown off by a problem.
