Morphology

unredressed = redress (transparent) = un + redress

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the verb 'redress', indicating something not set right.

Etymology

Unredressed is made of un- 'not' and redress 'to dress' or 'treat' a wound, just like when you 'dress a wound'. So an unredressed wound has not been bandaged or treated.
