Morphology

unstressed = stressed (transparent) = un + stress + ed

A plain negation of the adjective 'stressed' (stress + -ed) by 'un-' yields 'not feeling pressure or tension', which is a direct, productive formation.

Etymology

Unstressed is made of un- 'not' and stress 'pressure' or 'worry'. So a person who is unstressed does not feel that pressure or worry and feels calm.
