Morphology
unprevailing = prevailing (transparent) = un + prevail + ing
The adjective 'prevailing' means 'widespread or dominant'; adding 'un-' gives a direct negation ('not prevailing').
Etymology
Unprevailing is made from un- 'not' and prevailing 'being common or dominant'. So an unprevailing view is one that is not the usual or dominant opinion and does not win wide support.
