Morphology
unreflecting = reflecting (transparent) = un + reflect + ing
Formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'reflecting' (not thinking or considering), so the sense is predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word unreflecting comes from un- ('not') and reflect ('to think over'). So an unreflecting person does not stop to think carefully before acting.
