Morphology
uninteresting = interesting (transparent) = un + interest + ing
The word is transparently derived from 'interesting' by adding the prefix 'un-' to negate the meaning.
Etymology
Uninteresting breaks into un- meaning 'not' and interest meaning 'to attract attention' or 'want to know'. So, uninteresting means 'not causing interest', something dull or boring.
