Morphology
unsuspicious = suspicious (transparent) = un + suspicious
The meaning is directly derived from 'suspicious' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.
Etymology
Unsuspicious is formed from un- meaning 'not' and suspicious, which is like the simpler word suspect meaning 'to think someone may be doing wrong'. So unsuspicious means 'not having or showing suspicion', someone who does not expect danger or trickery.
