Morphology

unrotated = rotated (transparent) = un + rotate + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is productively attached to the participial adjective 'rotated', yielding a clear 'not rotated' meaning.

Etymology

Unrotated is made from the prefix un-, meaning 'not', and the verb rotate, meaning 'to turn'. So unrotated simply means 'not turned', for example a photo or image left in its original position.
