Morphology
unregretting = regretting (transparent) = un + regret + ing
Clear negation of 'regretting' by the productive prefix 'un-'.
Etymology
The word unregretting is formed by putting the prefix un- ('not') before regretting, from regret meaning 'to feel sorry'. Think of un- as a switch that turns off the feeling of regret, so unregretting describes someone who 'does not feel or show regret'.
