Morphology
undecked = undeck (transparent) = un + deck + ed
The suffix '-ed' forms an adjective from the verb 'undeck', indicating a completed action.
Etymology
Undecked comes from the common word deck, as in 'deck the halls', where deck means 'decorate'. So undecked simply means 'not decorated' or plain, which is why we use it for a room, table, or tree without any adornment.
