Morphology
undecaying = decaying (transparent) = un + decay + ing
In technical contexts (physics, engineering) 'decay' commonly means reduction in amplitude or energy; negating 'decaying' with 'un-' yields 'not decreasing', a direct and regular formation.
Etymology
Undecaying comes from un- 'not' plus decay 'to lose or decrease'. In science, 'decay' can mean a loss of energy, so undecaying describes a signal or vibration that does not fade and keeps its strength.
