Morphology

unnotched = notched (transparent) = un + notch + ed

The meaning is a straightforward negation of 'notched' with the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Unnotched is made from un- meaning 'not' and notch meaning 'a small cut or groove', so it literally says 'not cut'. That's why an unnotched blade or edge is smooth and has no notches that might weaken it.
