Morphology

unfazed = fazed (transparent) = un + faze + ed

Meaning is a straightforward negation formed by productive prefix 'un-' added to 'fazed' (not disturbed).

Etymology

Unfazed comes from un- meaning 'not' and faze meaning 'to disturb' or 'to upset', so it simply means 'not disturbed'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone who stays calm and is not worried by a surprise or a problem.
