Morphology

unflawed = flawed (transparent) = un + flaw + ed

The meaning is the straightforward negation of 'flawed' using the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Unflawed is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word flaw meaning 'a fault' or 'mistake', so it literally says 'not faulty'. So unflawed means 'without any faults or mistakes', like a perfect diamond with no cracks.
