Morphology
undeceived = deceived (transparent) = un + deceive + ed
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the past participle 'deceived', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not deceived' or 'no longer deceived'.
Etymology
Undeceived is made from un- 'not' and deceive 'to trick', so a person who is undeceived is no longer tricked and now knows the truth.
