Morphology
unfussed = fussed (transparent) = un + fuss + ed
The immediate base 'fussed' is a regular '-ed' form of 'fuss', and adding 'un-' produces a straightforward negation.
Etymology
Unfussed comes from un- meaning 'not' and fuss meaning 'a lot of worry or bother', the same root as fussy, so it describes someone who is 'not worried or bothered'.
