Morphology
unchallenging = challenging (transparent) = un + challenge + ing
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'challenging', resulting in a straightforward meaning.
Etymology
Unchallenging begins with un- meaning 'not' and ends with challenging, from challenge meaning 'a test' or 'something hard to do'. So unchallenging means 'not a test' and is used for things that are easy and not exciting.
