Morphology
unforbearing = forbearing (transparent) = un + forbear + ing
The adjective is formed by applying the productive negating prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'forbearing'; the opposite meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Unforbearing comes from the prefix un- 'not' and forbear 'to hold back or be patient', the same root you see in forbearance. So unforbearing describes someone who is 'not patient' or not willing to tolerate others.
