Morphology
unambiguity = unambiguous (transparent) = un + ambiguous + ity
The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'unambiguous', yielding a predictable meaning 'the state of being unambiguous'.
Etymology
Unambiguity breaks into three parts: un- meaning 'not', ambi- meaning 'both', and -ity meaning 'a state'. Think of ambiguity as having 'two ways' to understand something, so unambiguity is the state of being clear and having only one meaning.
