Morphology

unchipped = chipped (transparent) = un + chip + ed

Standard negative prefixation on 'chipped' (having small broken pieces) yields the straightforward meaning 'not chipped, intact'.

Etymology

Unchipped is made of un- ('not') and chip, which means 'a small broken piece', like a chip from a cup. So unchipped means 'not having any chips or cracks', and we use it when something is whole and not damaged.
