Morphology

unbox = box (transparent) = un + box

The meaning of 'unbox' is directly derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'to remove' and the root 'box'.

Etymology

Unbox comes from the parts un- ('remove') and box ('container'), so it literally means to take something out of a box, which is why people 'unbox' new products, often on video.
