Morphology

unimpulsive = impulsive (transparent) = un + impulsive

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'impulsive', making it transparent.

Etymology

Unimpulsive is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and impulse meaning 'a sudden push' or 'urge', like the verb impel ('to push'). So someone who is unimpulsive does not act on quick urges and instead behaves carefully.
