Morphology
unprejudiced = prejudiced (transparent) = un + prejudice + ed
The negative prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'prejudiced' (biased), so the meaning 'not biased' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Unprejudiced starts with un- meaning 'not' and comes from pre- 'before' plus judge, so prejudice originally meant 'to judge before'. So an unprejudiced person does not judge before they know the facts and is fair.
