Morphology
undiminished = diminished (transparent) = un + diminish + ed
Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to the participial adjective 'diminished', yielding the direct negation 'not reduced'.
Etymology
Undiminished comes from un- meaning 'not' and diminish, which means 'make small' — think of the word mini. So undiminished means 'not made smaller' and stays at the same strength or amount.
