Morphology
unhampered = hampered (transparent) = un + hamper + ed
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'hampered', making the meaning of 'unhampered' straightforward.
Etymology
Unhampered is made of un- ('not') and hamper ('to hold back' or 'to block'). So unhampered means 'not blocked' and is easy to remember as being free to move or act without trouble.
