Morphology

unbaked = baked (transparent) = un + bake + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is directly attached to the adjective 'baked', yielding the literal meaning 'not cooked by baking'.

Etymology

Unbaked comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb bake meaning 'to cook in an oven', the same root you see in baker and bakery. So unbaked means 'not cooked by baking', like cookie dough or a pie crust that has not been put in the oven.
