Morphology

unfancied = fancied (transparent) = un + fancy + ed

Built by negating the adjectival 'fancied' (not ornate or elaborate) using the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Unfancied comes from un- meaning 'not' and fancy meaning 'ornate' or 'showy', so it means 'not fancy'. That's why an unfancied room, meal, or dress is plain and simple rather than decorated or expensive.
