Morphology

unfried = fried (semi-transparent) = un + fried

Formally 'un-' + 'fried' is clear, but the slang meaning (not mentally 'fried' = alert/sober) relies on informal metaphor and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Unfried is made of un- 'not' plus fried, and in slang fried can mean 'mentally exhausted' or 'under the influence'. So unfried means 'not tired or overwhelmed', that is, alert and sober.
