Morphology

unbounded = bounded (transparent) = un + bound + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'bounded', making the meaning directly derivable.

Etymology

Unbounded comes from un- meaning 'not' and bound meaning 'limit' or 'edge', the same root you see in boundary. So unbounded means 'not limited', like energy or space that seems to go on forever.
