Morphology

unbiased = biased (transparent) = un + bias + ed

Formed by adding the productive prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'biased', yielding 'not biased' in an obvious way.

Etymology

The word unbiased comes from un- ('not') and bias ('slant' or 'leaning'), so think of something that does not lean to one side. So, when you call a person or report unbiased, you mean it is fair and not influenced by personal feelings.
