Morphology
unparalleled = paralleled (transparent) = un + parallel + ed
The word is formed by negating 'paralleled' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the clear sense 'not paralleled; having no equal'.
Etymology
Unparalleled comes from un- meaning 'not' and parallel meaning 'side by side'. So if something is 'not side by side' with anything else, nothing matches it, which is why unparalleled means having no equal or being unique.
