Morphology

unmanifest = manifest (semi-transparent) = un + manifest

The meaning is built directly from the negative prefix 'un-' plus 'manifest', though the noun use is a specialized philosophical substantivization.

Etymology

Unmanifest is formed from un- 'not' and manifest 'visible', so as a noun it names a hidden reality or source that is not shown to us, often used in spiritual talk.
