Morphology
unelaborated = elaborated (transparent) = un + elaborate + ed
The adjective is formed by negating the clearly recognizable adjective 'elaborated' with the productive English prefix 'un-'.
Etymology
Unelaborated combines un- meaning 'not' with elaborate, which comes from a word meaning 'to work' and is the same idea behind labor. So unelaborated means 'not worked out' or not given in detail.
