Morphology

unclarified = clarified (transparent) = un + clarify + ed

Formed by prefixing 'un-' (not) to 'clarified' (past participle of 'clarify'), a direct negation of the usual meaning 'made clear or purified'.

Etymology

Unclarified starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest is clarified, which comes from a root that means 'clear'. In cooking, to clarify butter or stock is to remove solids so it becomes clear, so unclarified means 'not made clear or pure' and may look cloudy or keep extra bits.
