Morphology

unmanifest = manifest (transparent) = un + manifest

Productive negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'manifest' yields the straightforward meaning 'not manifest', which a typical learner can infer.

Etymology

Unmanifest breaks into un- 'not' and manifest 'visible' or 'plain to see'. So unmanifest as an adjective means 'not made visible' or 'not apparent'.
