Morphology

unbreaking = unbreak (transparent) = un + break + ing

The verb is formed by negation/prefixation on 'break' (un- + break) and then the progressive/gerund '-ing' is added; the reversal meaning is straightforward.

Etymology

Unbreaking is made from the prefix un- meaning 'to reverse', like in undo and untie, and break meaning 'to damage', so as a verb it means 'to make whole again' or to repair something that was broken.
