Morphology

unperplexed = perplexed (transparent) = un + perplex + ed

Formed by negating the adjective 'perplexed' with the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning 'not confused' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unperplexed is made of un- meaning 'not' and perplex meaning 'to be confused', and you can think of complex ('complicated') to remember the 'plex' idea. So, unperplexed means 'not confused' and able to understand things clearly.
