Morphology
unprimed = primed (semi-transparent) = un + prime + ed
Morphologically a simple negation of 'primed', but the precise scientific sense requires domain knowledge.
Etymology
Unprimed is un- plus primed, and primer here means a 'starter' piece used to begin a reaction, like a short DNA starter in copying. So unprimed material lacks that starter, which is why the chemical or biological process cannot begin properly.
