Morphology

unerect = erect (transparent) = un + erect

The word 'unerect' is clearly derived from 'erect' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

The word unerect is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and erect meaning 'upright' or 'standing straight', like un- in unhappy. So unerect simply means 'not upright' and is used for things that are not standing straight.
