Morphology

unblended = blended (transparent) = un + blend + ed

Adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the adjective 'blended' yields a straightforward negation; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Unblended is easy to remember because the prefix un- means 'not' and blend means 'to mix', just like in blender. So unblended means 'not mixed', keeping things pure or separate.
