Morphology
unadulterated = adulterated (transparent) = un + adulterate + ed
The adjective is formed by negating the participial adjective 'adulterated' with the productive prefix 'un-', giving a direct meaning 'not adulterated'.
Etymology
Unadulterated comes from the parts un- ('not') and adulterate, a word meaning 'to mix something bad into something good', like adding water to wine. So unadulterated means 'not mixed' or 'pure', which is why we use it for food or oil with nothing else added.
