Morphology

incorrupted = corrupted (transparent) = in + corrupt + ed

The adjective is straightforwardly formed by adding the negative prefix 'in-' to 'corrupted' with the meaning 'not corrupted'.

Etymology

Incorrupted starts with in- meaning 'not' and the rest is corrupt, from an old Latin word that meant 'to spoil' or 'break', the same idea you see in rupture. So incorrupted means 'not spoiled' or 'kept pure'.
