Morphology
unchilled = chilled (transparent) = un + chilled
The adjective 'chilled' (chill + -ed) is a clear base and adding 'un-' yields the direct negation 'not chilled'.
Etymology
Unchilled starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from chill, which means 'to make cold', as in chilly. So an unchilled drink is one left out of the fridge and is 'not made cold' or 'not kept at a low temperature'.
