Morphology
unbathed = bathed (transparent) = un + bathe
Standard negation of the participial/adjectival form 'bathed' to indicate 'not washed'.
Etymology
Unbathed breaks down into un- 'not' and bathe 'to wash the body', the same root you see in bath or bathtub. So, when someone is unbathed in the everyday sense, they simply have not washed recently and may be dirty.
