Morphology
unaesthetic = aesthetic (transparent) = un + aesthetic
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'aesthetic', making the meaning of 'unaesthetic' directly understandable.
Etymology
Unaesthetic is made from un- ('not') and aesthetic ('related to beauty or the senses'), so it describes something that does not look or feel pleasing. A helpful way to remember it is to think of curtains or colours that look bad — they are unaesthetic, meaning 'not attractive'.
