Morphology

undying = dying (transparent) = un + die + ing

The prefix 'un-' negates the verb 'dying', making the meaning clear as 'not dying'.

Etymology

Undying is made of un- meaning 'not' and dying, from the verb die meaning 'to stop living'. So undying describes something, like love or gratitude, that does not end and lasts 'forever'.
