Morphology
undampened = dampened (transparent) = un + dampen + ed
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'dampened', resulting in a straightforward meaning.
Etymology
Undampened comes from un- 'not' plus dampen (from damp 'slightly wet' + -en 'make'). So it literally means 'not made wet', which is why an undampened tent or box stays dry and untouched by moisture.
