Morphology

unconditioned = conditioned (transparent) = un + condition + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'conditioned', indicating absence of conditions.

Etymology

Unconditioned comes from un- 'not' and condition meaning 'a rule or limit'. So unconditioned means 'not limited by conditions', that is absolute or free from requirements, much like giving support without any rules.
