Morphology

undashed = dashed (transparent) = un + dash + ed

Clear negation of the adjective 'dashed' (having dashes) by the productive prefix 'un-'; learners who know 'dash' and '-ed' will easily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Undashed is simply un- 'not' plus dash meaning 'a short line' or punctuation mark. So undashed means without dashes or not marked with dash lines.
