Morphology
unfading = fading (transparent) = un + fade + ing
The prefix 'un-' negates the adjective 'fading', yielding a straightforward 'not fading' meaning.
Etymology
Unfading is made from un- 'not' and fade 'to lose color or brightness'. Think of a painting or a flower that keeps its color forever, so unfading means 'never losing color, brightness, or charm'.
