Morphology

unblouse = blouse (transparent) = un + blouse

Formed by adding the productive prefix 'un-' (meaning reversal/removal) to 'blouse' (the garment), so the meaning 'remove a blouse' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Unblouse comes from the prefix un- meaning 'remove' and blouse, a loose top. So to unblouse is simply to take off a blouse, like when you 'undo' a button or 'untuck' a shirt.
