Morphology

unfaced = faced (transparent) = un + face + ed

A regular negation prefix 'un-' applied to 'faced' (past participle/adjective from 'face'), yielding 'not faced'—meaning directly inferable.

Etymology

Unfaced breaks into un- 'not' and face 'the front of a head or an expression'. Imagine a statue with no eyes or mouth so it looks blank and 'not faced'. So unfaced means lacking facial features or a clear front.
