Morphology

undiverted = diverted (transparent) = un + divert + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'diverted', yielding the straightforward opposite meaning 'not diverted'.

Etymology

Undiverted comes from the parts un- meaning 'not' and divert meaning 'to turn aside'. So, think of it as 'not turned away', which is why an undiverted person keeps their attention and is not distracted.
