Morphology

uncrushed = crushed (transparent) = un + crush + ed

Formed by productive negation 'un-' applied to the adjective 'crushed' (i.e., not crushed), so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Uncrushed is made of un- 'not' and crush 'to press or break'. Think of grapes that are not pressed for juice and stay whole — uncrushed means not pressed, bent, or broken in shape.
