Morphology

unglassed = glassed (transparent) = un + glass + ed

The adjective 'glassed' (fitted with glass) is directly negated by the productive prefix 'un-', so the meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Unglassed is formed from un- 'not' and glassed 'covered with glass', like a window or greenhouse pane. So an unglassed panel or window is simply one without glass, open or not yet fitted with panes.
