Morphology
unzip = zip (transparent) = un + zip
In computing the prefix 'un-' reverses the action expressed by the verb 'zip' (to compress), yielding 'to decompress/extract'.
Etymology
In computing, unzip uses the same idea for files: a ZIP file is a group of files 'made smaller' to send or store, so to unzip is to open that file and take the original files out.
