Morphology

unwavering = wavering (transparent) = un + waver + ing

The adjective means simply 'not wavering', which is a straightforward and productive use of the negative prefix.

Etymology

Unwavering is made of un- ('not') and waver ('to move back and forth' or 'to hesitate'), which you can picture like a small wave that goes up and down. So unwavering means 'not moving' in your belief or support, steady and firm.
