Morphology

unironed = ironed (transparent) = un + iron + ed

The negating prefix 'un-' directly attaches to the participial adjective 'ironed' to mean 'not ironed', a straightforward, regular negation.

Etymology

Unironed breaks into un- meaning 'not' and iron meaning the tool used to smooth clothes. So unironed describes clothes that were 'not ironed' and still have wrinkles.
