Morphology
unobjectionable = objectionable (transparent) = un + object + ion + able
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'objectionable', making it transparent.
Etymology
Unobjectionable starts with the part un- meaning 'not' and the word objection, which is a 'complaint' or being 'against' something, as you see in the verb object. So, unobjectionable means 'not causing complaints' and is acceptable or harmless.
