Morphology

unstinted = stinted (transparent) = un + stint + ed

The adjective 'stinted' (limited) is simply negated by the productive prefix 'un-' to yield 'not limited'.

Etymology

Unstinted comes from un- meaning 'not' and stint meaning 'a limit' or 'a stop'. So unstinted means 'not limited' and is used when something is given freely and generously without holding back.
