Morphology
unconsenting = consenting (transparent) = un + consent + ing
Formed by applying the negative prefix 'un-' to 'consenting' (consent + -ing), so the negative meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word unconsenting is made of un- meaning 'not' and consent meaning 'agree' or 'permission'. So, unconsenting describes someone or something that has not agreed or given permission.
