Morphology
undogmatical = undogmatic (transparent) = un + dogmatic + al
Built by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-al' to the clearly formed adjective 'undogmatic' (itself un- + dogmatic), so the step to the target is regular and predictable.
Etymology
Undogmatical is built from the familiar un- meaning 'not' and dogma meaning 'a fixed belief' or 'rule', so it describes someone who does not accept strict teachings and is open-minded.
