Morphology
undifferenced = differenced (semi-transparent) = un + difference + ed
Formally un- + differenced is clear, but the general sense 'not marked by distinguishing features' is not an obvious or productive inference for an average learner.
Etymology
Undifferenced comes from un- 'not' and different 'not the same', so it literally means 'not made different'. That's why an undifferenced crest or design has no extra marks or signs to show a difference.
