Morphology

unmount = mount (transparent) = un + mount

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the verb 'mount', yielding the opposite action 'get off' or 'remove'.

Etymology

Unmount is made of un- meaning 'do the opposite' and mount meaning 'to get on', as in 'mount a horse'. So, to unmount is to get off a horse, bicycle, or other ride — the opposite of mounting.
