Morphology

unexpanded = expanded (transparent) = un + expand + ed

The adjective is formed by adding negative prefix 'un-' to 'expanded' (expand + -ed), a regular and easily derivable formation for learners.

Etymology

Unexpanded is formed from un- meaning 'not' and expand meaning 'to open up' or 'make larger', like when you open a folded map. So unexpanded means 'not opened up', not made larger or more detailed.
