Morphology

unoxygenated = oxygenated (transparent) = un + oxygen + ate + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'oxygenated', producing a straightforward negation meaning 'not supplied with oxygen'.

Etymology

Unoxygenated breaks into the prefix un- meaning 'not' and oxygenate (from oxygen) meaning 'to add oxygen'. So unoxygenated simply means 'not supplied with oxygen', as in blood that has not yet picked up oxygen from the lungs.
