Morphology

unfixed = fixed (transparent) = un + fix + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'fixed', making the meaning of 'unfixed' easily understandable as 'not fixed'.

Etymology

The word unfixed has two parts: un- meaning 'not' and fix meaning 'to make firm', like when you fix a shelf to the wall. So, when something is unfixed, it is not firmly attached and can move or fall.
