Morphology
unclamped = clamped (transparent) = un + clamp + ed
The negative prefix 'un-' directly negates the participial adjective 'clamped', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not fastened by a clamp'.
Etymology
Unclamped comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word clamp, a tool that holds things very tight. So unclamped means 'not held by a clamp' or 'released', which is why we use it when something is free to move or be removed.
