Morphology

unhydrated = hydrated (transparent) = un + hydrate + ed

Negation of the adjective 'hydrated' (having water) yields 'not hydrated' referring to lack of bodily water; structure and meaning are regular.

Etymology

Unhydrated breaks into un- 'not' and hydrate 'add water', like in hydrant. So when a person is unhydrated they are 'not having enough water' and may feel dizzy or tired because their body needs water.
