Morphology

unfond = fond (transparent) = un + fond

The word 'unfond' is transparently derived from 'fond' by adding the prefix 'un-', indicating the negation of the base meaning.

Etymology

Unfond is made of the prefix un- meaning 'not' and fond, the same root you see in fondness and fondly, which means 'to like'. So, unfond literally means 'not liking' or 'not having affection', and is used when someone does not like something or someone.
