Morphology
undissipated = dissipated (transparent) = un + dissipate + ed
Formed by negating the adjectival sense 'dissipated' (given to excessive indulgence), so 'not morally dissipated' is a direct negative formation.
Etymology
Undissipated comes from dissipate, which can also mean 'to waste' by excess, and the prefix un- means 'not'. So undissipated describes someone who is 'not given to excess', sober and restrained.
