Morphology
undrawn = drawn (transparent) = un + draw + n
The meaning 'not drawn' is directly derived from the base word 'drawn' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.
Etymology
The word undrawn is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and drawn, the past of draw, which here means 'to make a picture or lines'. So undrawn describes something left as a 'blank' or 'not shown' in a drawing or plan.
