Morphology

unibrow = brow (transparent) = uni + brow + uni

'uni-' meaning 'one' combined with 'brow' yields 'single eyebrow', a directly derivable meaning for learners.

Etymology

The word unibrow combines uni- meaning 'one' and brow meaning 'eyebrow', like unicycle uses uni- for 'one'. So a unibrow is when the two eyebrows grow together and look like a single eyebrow across the top of the nose.
