Morphology
unscathed = scathed (transparent) = un + scathe + ed
Formed by straightforward prefixation: 'un-' (not) + 'scathed' (harmed), so the meaning is directly the negation of 'scathed'.
Etymology
The word unscathed combines un- ('not') with scathe, an old Norse word for 'harm'. So unscathed means 'not harmed' or 'without damage', and a helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone coming through danger 'without a scratch'.
