Morphology

unhomogenized = homogenized (transparent) = un + homogenize + ed

The productive negating prefix 'un-' is attached to the familiar adjective 'homogenized', yielding the direct meaning 'not homogenized'.

Etymology

Unhomogenized begins with un- meaning 'not' and uses the root homo- meaning 'same', the same part you see in homogeneous. So unhomogenized means 'not made the same', which you can see in milk when the cream rises to the top.
