Morphology

uncongealed = congealed (transparent) = un + congeal + ed

Formed by prefixing 'un-' to the adjective 'congealed', yielding the straightforward negative 'not solidified'.

Etymology

Uncongealed comes from un- 'not' and congeal 'to set', and you can think of gel or 'gelatin' that becomes firm. So it means 'not having solidified or thickened', like a soup or blood that is still liquid.
