Morphology

undented = dented (transparent) = un + dent + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'dented', giving a literal negation 'not dented'.

Etymology

Undented comes from the parts un- meaning 'not' and dent meaning 'tooth' or 'a small hollow', and the same dent appears in dentist. So undented literally means 'not having any dents' and is used for a smooth, unmarked surface.
