Morphology
ungarnished = garnished (transparent) = un + garnish + ed
The negation prefix 'un-' applied to 'garnished' (meaning decorated) yields the straightforward sense 'not decorated'.
Etymology
Ungarnished breaks into un- 'not' and garnish. Garnish came from old French where it meant 'to add' or 'to equip' and later came to mean 'to decorate', so ungarnished is plain or without extra decoration.
