Morphology
unexplorative = explorative (transparent) = un + explor + ative
The adjective 'explorative' is clearly negated by the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not explorative'.
Etymology
Unexplorative is made of the part un- meaning 'not' and explore meaning 'to search', as in explorer. So an unexplorative person or method is 'not' willing to 'look for' new places, ideas, or experiences.
