Morphology

unclick = click (transparent) = un + click

The prefix 'un-' clearly indicates the reversal of the action 'click'.

Etymology

The word unclick joins the simple prefix un- which means 'do the opposite' and click which is the short sound a mouse makes when you press a button. So, to unclick is to release the mouse button after pressing it, the opposite of clicking.
