Morphology
inexperienced = experienced (transparent) = in + experience + ed
The prefix 'in-' straightforwardly negates 'experienced' to mean 'not experienced'.
Etymology
The word inexperienced is made of in- 'not' and experience 'what you learn by doing things'. So it means not having the knowledge or skill you get from practice.
