Morphology

unclad = clad (transparent) = un + clad

The negative prefix 'un-' is productively applied to 'clad' to mean 'not clothed', a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Unclad is made of un- meaning 'not' and clad, which is like the word clothe and means 'dressed'. So unclad simply means 'not wearing any clothes'.
