Morphology

unflavored = flavored (transparent) = un + flavor + ed

The adjective is formed by prefixing un- (negation) to 'flavored', yielding the expected meaning 'without flavor'; the structure is regular and obvious to learners.

Etymology

The word unflavored is made from un- meaning 'not' and flavor meaning 'taste', so it means 'not having added taste'. That's why unflavored foods or medicine have no extra taste and are easy to mix with other flavors.
