Morphology

unjaded = jaded (transparent) = un + jaded

The negative prefix 'un-' productively negates the adjective 'jaded', yielding a straightforward opposite meaning.

Etymology

Unjaded puts un- ('not') in front of jaded, which means 'tired' or 'worn out'; long ago jaded was used for a tired horse called a 'jade', so unjaded means still fresh and interested rather than bored or worn out.
