Morphology

unpolluted = polluted (transparent) = un + pollute + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' simply negates the adjective 'polluted', giving a clear meaning 'not contaminated'.

Etymology

Unpolluted is made of un- meaning 'not' and polluted meaning 'made dirty', so it means 'not made dirty'. Think of clear water or clean air that is still natural and pure; that is what unpolluted describes.
