Morphology
unramified = ramified (transparent) = un + ramify + ed
Standard negative prefix 'un-' applied to the adjective 'ramified', yielding 'not divided into branches'.
Etymology
Unramified comes from un- 'not' and ramify from Latin ramus 'branch', so it literally means 'not branched'. A helpful image is a river or a plant stem that never splits into smaller parts — that unchanging, single path is why we call something unramified when it has no branches.
