Morphology

undig = dig (semi-transparent) = un + dig

The prefix 'un-' typically negates the verb 'dig', but in this informal context, it shifts the meaning to 'dislike' or 'fail to understand', which is not a standard negation.

Etymology

Undig comes from the informal word dig, which once meant 'to like' or 'understand' in 20th-century slang. With the prefix un- meaning 'not', undig means 'not like' or 'fail to accept', so it is used when someone dislikes or cannot accept something.
