Morphology

unawed = awed (transparent) = un + awe + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'awed', producing a predictable opposite meaning.

Etymology

The word unawed is made of un- 'not' plus awe 'wonder or fear', the same root found in awesome. So, unawed means not feeling that wonder or fear, in other words not impressed or intimidated.
