Morphology

unmortified = mortified (semi-transparent) = un + mortify + mort + ed

The prefix 'un-' negates 'mortified', but the medical context may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Unmortified comes from the prefix un- 'not' and mortify, whose root mort means 'death'. So it literally means 'not made dead', which is why doctors use it for tissue that is not dead or rotten.
