Morphology
unconformist = conformist (transparent) = un + conform + ist
The adjective is transparently formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'conformist'.
Etymology
Unconformist is made of the parts un- 'not', conform 'to be the same as others', and -ist 'a person'. So an unconformist is a person who does not 'fit the same shape' and who thinks or acts differently from most people.
