Morphology

undusted = dusted (transparent) = un + dust + ed

A straightforward negation: 'un-' + the participial/adjectival 'dusted' yields 'not dusted' with the expected literal meaning.

Etymology

Undusted combines un- meaning 'not' and dust, the tiny dry particles that collect on furniture. So undusted simply means 'not dusted', still covered with dust and needing cleaning.
