Morphology

unrumpled = rumpled (transparent) = un + rumple + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the productive negation prefix 'un-' to the obvious adjective 'rumpled', yielding a directly inferable opposite meaning.

Etymology

Unrumpled is made from un- meaning 'not' and rumple meaning 'to make wrinkles or creases', like the familiar word crumple. So unrumpled means 'not wrinkled' and describes something smooth and neat.
