Morphology

undepressed = depressed (transparent) = un + depress + ed

The physical sense 'not pressed down' follows directly from negating the adjective 'depressed' using the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Undepressed comes from the prefix un- 'not' and depress 'to press down', the same root as the common word press. So an undepressed button or switch is not pushed or sunken and stays in a normal or raised position.
