Morphology
unduplicated = duplicated (transparent) = un + duplicate + ed
Formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'duplicated' to give the straightforward negated meaning 'not duplicated', which learners can readily infer.
Etymology
Unduplicated is made from un- 'not' and duplicate, a word that means 'made twice' and is like the simple word double. So unduplicated means 'not copied or doubled', in other words a single or unique item.
