Morphology
unconcentrated = concentrated (transparent) = un + concentrate + ed
The adjective 'concentrated' also means mentally focused; adding 'un-' yields 'not mentally focused', which is a straightforward negative formation.
Etymology
Unconcentrated is formed from un- 'not' plus concentrated, from the idea of bringing attention to a center. So unconcentrated describes a mind or person whose attention is not at the center, meaning they are not mentally focused.
