Morphology
unstimulated = stimulated (transparent) = un + stimulate + ed
The adjective 'stimulated' (from 'stimulate' + '-ed') is negated by 'un-', making the intended sense ('not interested or aroused') straightforward.
Etymology
Unstimulated is made of un- 'not' and stimulate, from Latin stimulus 'a poke'—something that makes you move or notice. So if you feel unstimulated, you are not 'poked' by new ideas or excitement and you feel bored or unmotivated.
