unrendered positive

Morphology

unrendered = rendered (transparent) = un + render + ed

The adjective is formed by negating 'rendered' (coated/processed), so learners who know 'rendered' will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Unrendered is made of un- 'not' and render 'to coat', where 'render' in building means 'to cover a wall with plaster'. So an unrendered wall is not coated and shows the bare brick or stone.
