Morphology
unobstructed = obstructed (transparent) = un + obstruct + ed
Formed by negating 'obstructed' with the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not blocked'.
Etymology
Unobstructed starts with un- meaning 'not' and has obstruct, which means 'to block' and is like the words structure and construct that are about 'building'. So an unobstructed view or path is one that is not blocked and is clear and free.
