Morphology
unpeeled = peeled (transparent) = un + peel + ed
The meaning is clearly derived from 'peeled' by adding the prefix 'un-' to indicate the opposite state.
Etymology
The word unpeeled is made of un- ('not') and peel ('outer skin' of a fruit or vegetable). So unpeeled means 'not having the skin removed', like an apple or potato you eat with its skin still on.
