Morphology
unapologetic = apologetic (transparent) = un + apologetic
Meaning is directly derived by negating the adjective 'apologetic' with the productive English prefix 'un-'.
Etymology
The word unapologetic begins with un- 'not' and the rest comes from apology, which we use for saying 'sorry'. So a person who is unapologetic is 'not sorry' and does not show regret for what they say or do.
