Morphology

undiseased = diseased (transparent) = un + disease + ed

The adjective is a straightforward negation of 'diseased' using the productive prefix 'un-', yielding 'not affected by disease'.

Etymology

The word undiseased is made of un- meaning 'not' and disease, a word that originally meant 'not at ease', the opposite of 'ease'. So, undiseased simply means 'free from illness' or 'healthy'.
