Morphology

unglazed = glazed (transparent) = un + glaze

The meaning is clearly derived from the negation of 'glazed'.

Etymology

Unglazed is built from un- + glaze, where un- means 'not' and glaze originally meant 'to fit with glass'. So an unglazed window is one that is 'not' covered with glass.
