Surface Forms

unvexed positive

Morphology

unvexed = vexed (transparent) = un + vex + ed

The meaning is a direct negation formed by the productive prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'vexed'.

Etymology

Unvexed is made of the parts un- ('not') and vex ('to annoy' or 'to trouble'), the same part you see in vexation. So an unvexed person is 'not troubled' and stays calm and unbothered.
