Morphology

undetached = detached (transparent) = un + detach + ed

The word is transparently formed by negating 'detached' with the prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Undetached is formed from un- 'not' and detached 'separate or taken away', like the opposite of attach. So something undetached has not been pulled off and is still 'attached' or joined to another thing.
