Morphology

uncollapsed = collapsed (transparent) = un + collapse + ed

Formed by the productive negating prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'collapsed', so the meaning is the direct negation: not fallen in.

Etymology

Uncollapsed combines the prefix un- meaning 'not' with collapsed, from a verb that means 'to fall down' or 'fall together'. So uncollapsed means 'not fallen' and describes something that is still standing or intact.
