Morphology
undistinguishing = distinguishing (transparent) = un + distinguish + ing
Formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to 'distinguishing' (distinguish + -ing), yielding the straightforward sense 'not having distinguishing features'.
Etymology
Undistinguishing starts with un- 'not' and the rest is like distinct which means 'different'. So something undistinguishing has no clear features and 'does not stand out', which is why it blends in with others.
