Morphology

unmirrored = mirrored (transparent) = un + mirror + ed

The word is transparently formed by adding 'un-' to 'mirrored', meaning 'not mirrored'.

Etymology

Unmirrored comes from un- 'not' and mirror 'a reflected image'. So a painting, design, or scene that is unmirrored does not show a matching reflection and often looks uneven or one-sided.
