Morphology

unbuffered = buffered (transparent) = un + buffer + ed

Clear negation of a technical adjective 'buffered' (i.e., not using temporary storage); the morphological logic matches the computing sense directly.

Etymology

Unbuffered joins un- ('not') with buffer, which in computing is a 'holding area' for data, so something unbuffered has no temporary storage and sends or shows data immediately.
