Morphology

uncorroded = corroded (transparent) = un + corrode + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is directly attached to the adjective 'corroded' to give the straightforward meaning 'not corroded'.

Etymology

Uncorroded is un- 'not' + corrode, and corrode comes from an old word meaning 'to eat away' or 'to gnaw', like a rat that keeps biting metal. So uncorroded means 'not eaten away' or not damaged by rust.
