Morphology
unpenetrated = penetrated (transparent) = un + penetrate + ed
The adjective is formed by negating the past participle 'penetrated' with 'un-', yielding 'not explored/understood' in metaphorical use.
Etymology
Unpenetrated is made from un- meaning 'not' and penetrate meaning 'to go into', like the simple word 'enter'. So an unpenetrated jungle, idea, or mystery is one that has not been explored or understood yet.
