Morphology

unfussed = fussed (transparent) = un + fuss + ed

The adjective 'fussed' (fussy, ornate) negated by 'un-' yields 'plain' or 'not elaborate', a direct meaning extension.

Etymology

Unfussed comes from un- 'not' and fuss 'unnecessary worry or decoration', the same root as fussy. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think 'not fussy', so an unfussed design or look is simple, plain, and not decorated.
