Morphology

unbruised = bruised (transparent) = un + bruise + ed

Negative prefix 'un-' added to the participial adjective 'bruised' yields the literal meaning 'not having bruises'.

Etymology

Unbruised comes from un- 'not' and bruise 'a dark mark after an injury', so it literally means 'without any mark or damage'. That's why fruit, skin, or objects described as unbruised have no bruises after a fall or rough handling.
