Morphology
unfrightened = frightened (transparent) = un + frighten + ed
Formed by the productive prefix 'un-' plus the adjective 'frightened', so the negated meaning 'not frightened' is direct and predictable.
Etymology
The word unfrightened is made of un- meaning 'not' and fright meaning 'a sudden fear', so it simply means 'not feeling fear'.
