Surface Forms

unbothered positive

Morphology

unbothered = bothered (transparent) = un + bother + ed

The adjective is formed by negating the participial adjective 'bothered' with the productive prefix 'un-', which straightforwardly yields 'not feeling worried or affected'.

Etymology

Unbothered is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word bother meaning 'to worry or disturb', so it literally means 'not worried'.
