Morphology
undistilled = distilled (transparent) = un + distill + ed
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'distilled', maintaining the meaning of 'not distilled'.
Etymology
Undistilled is built from un- 'not' and distilled 'purified by boiling and collecting the drops', so it means 'not purified' or 'in its original state'. It is used for liquids like water or alcohol that have not been put through a still.
