Morphology
unintelligent = intelligent (transparent) = un + intelligent
The negative prefix 'un-' attaches to the adjective 'intelligent' in a regular and compositional way, yielding 'not intelligent'.
Etymology
Unintelligent breaks down into un- 'not' and intelligent, which comes from a root meaning 'to understand' and is the same root as intellect. So unintelligent literally means 'not understanding', which is why we use it for someone or something that is not smart.
