Morphology

unabating = abating (transparent) = un + abate + ing

The word is formed by negating 'abating' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding 'not becoming less', which directly matches the sense.

Etymology

The word unabating is made of un- 'not' and abate 'to lessen', the same part you see in abatement. So unabating means 'not getting weaker', like a noise or feeling that keeps going strong.
