Morphology

undress = dress (transparent) = un + dress

The meaning is directly compositional: 'un-' negates 'dress', yielding a state of not being dressed or clothed.

Etymology

Undress as a noun comes from the same parts, un- meaning 'not' and dress meaning 'to wear clothes', and it names the state of being without clothes or only partly dressed.
