Morphology
unfabricated = fabricated (transparent) = un + fabricate + ed
The meaning is clearly derived from 'fabricated' with the addition of 'un-' to indicate the opposite state.
Etymology
Unfabricated starts with un- meaning 'not' and comes from fabricate ('to make'), which is related to fabric (cloth). Think of a log or stone that has not been worked or shaped — 'not made' — so the word describes materials that are raw and unprocessed.
