Morphology
unmanifested = manifested (transparent) = un + manifest + ed
Built by adding -ed to 'manifest' to make 'manifested' (made manifest) and then negating with 'un-', so the meaning 'not made manifest' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Unmanifested is built from un- meaning 'not' and manifest meaning 'clear' or 'visible', so it describes ideas or things that exist but are not shown or revealed.
