Morphology
unsophistication = sophistication (transparent) = un + sophistication
Formed by straightforward negation of 'sophistication' with 'un-', so learners who know 'sophistication' and the prefix 'un-' can derive the meaning.
Etymology
Unsophistication is made of un- 'not' and sophistication, the same root as sophisticated, which means 'worldly' or 'polished'. So unsophistication is literally 'not worldly', meaning plain, simple, or naive.
