Morphology
unprevailing = prevailing (transparent) = un + prevail + ing
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'prevailing', indicating a lack of success or effectiveness.
Etymology
Unprevailing is made from un- 'not' and prevail 'to be stronger or win'. So an unprevailing plan or argument simply does not succeed and fails to overcome its opponents.
