Morphology

unsub = unsubscribe (semi-transparent) = un + subscribe

Unsub is a clipped form of 'unsubscribe'; the meaning is clear once the base verb is known, but the shortening makes the relation slightly less transparent.

Etymology

Unsub is internet short for un- 'not' and sub from 'subscribe' or 'subscription', a quick way to say you stop getting a service. So to unsub is to cancel a subscription or stop receiving messages and updates.
