Morphology

unplastered = plastered (transparent) = un + plaster + ed

Standard negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjectival past-participle 'plastered', producing a straightforward meaning 'not covered with plaster'.

Etymology

Unplastered is made of the part un- meaning 'not' and plaster, a soft 'coating' used to cover walls and ceilings. So an unplastered wall is 'not covered with plaster', which is why it shows the original stone or wood beneath.
