Morphology
undipped = dipped (transparent) = un + dip + dipped
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the action of 'dipped', making the meaning straightforward.
Etymology
Undipped is made of un- meaning 'not' and dip meaning 'to put into a liquid', like when you dip a cookie in milk. So undipped means 'not put into a liquid' or not soaked.
