Morphology
unsegregated = segregated (transparent) = un + segregate
The adjective is formed by adding the productive negation prefix 'un-' to 'segregated', so the meaning 'not segregated' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Unsegregated is formed from un- 'not' and segregate, which comes from a root that once meant 'separate from the flock' and is the same root as congregate and gregarious, words about groups. So an unsegregated place is 'not separated into groups' or 'mixed together', which is why it means integrated.
