Morphology

undies = undie (transparent) = undie + s

The plural '-s' is a standard inflection and the base 'undie' clearly refers to underwear, so the meaning of 'undies' is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Undies comes from the word under meaning 'below' and a friendly ending -ies (like in 'doggies' or 'teddies'), so it sounds small and informal. It names the clothes you wear 'under' your other clothes, which is why we use it as a casual word for 'underwear'.
