Morphology

unrattled = rattled (transparent) = un + rattle + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'rattled', producing a direct negation of being shaken.

Etymology

Unrattled comes from un- meaning 'not' and rattle meaning 'to shake or make a quick noise'. So something unrattled stays steady and is 'not shaken' even when there is movement.
