Morphology
underpants = pants (transparent) = under + pants
The meaning is a straightforward combination: garments worn under (beneath) pants; learners who know 'under' and 'pants' can derive it. [Postprocessing: moved 'under' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
The word underpants is made of under, meaning 'below' or 'underneath', and pants, so it literally means 'pants worn under other clothes'. That's why underpants are the clothes you wear next to your skin under your other clothes.
