Morphology
unending = ending (transparent) = un + end + ing
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'ending' (end + -ing), so the meaning 'not ending / without end' is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word unending starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest is end meaning 'finish', so it simply means 'not finishing' or going on without stopping. A helpful image is a road with no stop sign that keeps going forever.
