Morphology
undiscerning = discerning (transparent) = un + discern + ing
The word is transparently formed by negating 'discerning' with 'un-'.
Etymology
Undiscerning breaks into un- meaning 'not' and discerning, from discern meaning 'to notice differences'. So, undiscerning describes someone who does 'not notice differences' and therefore cannot make careful judgments.
