Morphology
untransparent = transparent (transparent) = un + transparent
Regular negative formation with productive prefix 'un-' applied to 'transparent'; meaning 'not transparent' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Untransparent is formed from un- meaning 'not' and transparent meaning 'light goes through' or 'clear'. So untransparent describes something that does not let light through, or more generally something that is 'not clear' to understand.
