Morphology

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

Formally 'un-' + 'baked' is clear as a morphological operation, even if the adjective 'baked' is being used figuratively.

Etymology

Unbaked is also used for ideas or plans that are not fully formed. It uses the same parts un- 'not' and bake 'to cook', so an unbaked idea is 'not ready' or still raw, like food that needs more time before it is finished.
