Morphology

unfabricated = fabricated (transparent) = un + fabricate + ed

The prefix 'un-' negates the adjective 'fabricated' (meaning 'invented' or 'forged'), so 'unfabricated' clearly means 'not invented/made up'.

Etymology

Unfabricated has un- 'not' and fabricate 'to make or invent', so it literally means 'not made up'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a true, honest story that is 'not invented', which is why the word means genuine or real.
