Morphology

unblur = blur (transparent) = un + blur

The prefix 'un-' clearly indicates reversal or removal of the action of the base word 'blur'.

Etymology

Unblur is made from the prefix un- and the word blur. The prefix un- means 'reverse', as in undo, and blur means 'make unclear', so to unblur is to 'make clear' an image or remove the blur from a picture.
