Morphology
unfunctional = functional (transparent) = un + function + al
Formed by standard negation 'un-' applied to the adjective 'functional', which itself is transparently 'function' + '-al'.
Etymology
The word unfunctional is built from the start un- meaning 'not' and functional, which comes from function meaning 'a useful job or purpose'. So unfunctional describes something that is 'not useful in real life'.
