Morphology
unargumentative = argumentative (transparent) = un + argument + ative + ive
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'argumentative', making the meaning straightforward.
Etymology
Unargumentative is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and argumentative, which comes from the verb argue meaning 'to disagree'. So, an unargumentative person is 'not' likely to argue and is calm and cooperative.
