Morphology

ungrazed = grazed (transparent) = un + graze + ed

The negation 'un-' is added to the participle 'grazed' (graze = to scrape), making the meaning 'not scraped' directly inferable.

Etymology

Ungrazed combines un- meaning 'not' and graze meaning 'to scrape the skin'. So ungrazed can describe skin or a surface that has no small scrapes.
