Morphology
unsystematic = systematic (transparent) = un + system + atic
A regular negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'systematic' yields the straightforward opposite meaning 'not systematic', which is transparent to learners.
Etymology
Unsystematic starts with un-, which means 'not', and contains system, a common word for an 'organized plan' or 'connected parts'. So unsystematic means 'not organized' and is used for things that do not follow a clear plan or order.
