Morphology

unclouded = clouded (transparent) = un + cloud + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negating prefix 'un-' to 'clouded' (cloud + -ed), so the meaning 'not clouded' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word unclouded is made from un- meaning 'not' and cloud meaning 'a cloud' or 'something that hides or makes things unclear'. So, unclouded describes a sky or view that is 'not covered' and, by the same image, a mind, sound, or color that is clear and easy to understand.
