Morphology

unfelt = felt (transparent) = un + felt

The meaning is directly derived from 'felt' with the negating prefix 'un-', indicating the absence of feeling.

Etymology

Unfelt comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and felt, from feel meaning 'to experience' or 'to sense'. So something unfelt is 'not felt' and has no real emotion or physical touch, like an apology that sounds empty.
