Morphology

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

Negation of the participial/adjectival 'dusted' meaning 'not sprinkled/covered', which matches this sense.

Etymology

Undusted combines un- meaning 'not' and dust, which can also mean 'to sprinkle a fine powder' like sugar or cocoa. So undusted means 'not sprinkled', for example a cake left without a dusting of sugar.
