Morphology

unlifted = lifted (semi-transparent) = un + lift + ed

Formally 'un-' + 'lifted' gives 'not lifted', but here 'lifted' uses the informal sense 'stolen', which may be unknown to many learners.

Etymology

Unlifted combines un- 'not' with lift, which can also mean 'to steal' in everyday English, as in 'someone lifted it'. So unlifted can mean 'not taken or stolen', left in its original place.
