Morphology

unflurried = flurried (transparent) = un + flurried

Formed by adding the negation prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'flurried', yielding 'not flurried' which learners can infer from known patterns.

Etymology

Unflurried joins the prefix un-, meaning 'not', with flurry, meaning 'a sudden rush' or busy activity, like a snow flurry. So unflurried means 'not in a hurry' or calm under pressure, which explains why we say someone stayed calm when things got busy.
