Morphology

unexaggerated = exaggerated (transparent) = un + exaggerated

The adjective 'exaggerated' is a clear base and the productive negative prefix 'un-' yields the straightforward meaning 'not exaggerated'.

Etymology

Unexaggerated comes from the word exaggerate, which means 'to make something seem bigger or more important than it really is', and the prefix un- means 'not'. Think of an unexaggerated story as one without any extra details or show — plain and honest, not made bigger.
