Morphology

unscaled = scaled (transparent) = un + scale + ed

Formed by un- + scaled (past participle of 'scale' meaning 'to remove scales' or 'to scale an image'), so the negation 'not scaled' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Unscaled is un- 'not' plus scale, and scale can mean 'a set of marks for measuring' (like a weighing scale) or the 'small plates on a fish', so unscaled can mean 'not measured or adjusted' or 'not cleaned of scales'.
