Morphology

unsuppressed = suppressed (transparent) = un + suppress + ed

Formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'suppressed' (suppress + -ed), producing a straightforward negation.

Etymology

Unsuppressed begins with un- meaning 'not' and the part suppress comes from the idea of 'pressing down', just like in the word press or pressure. So an unsuppressed feeling or action is 'not held down' and is shown openly.
