Morphology

unseparated = separated (transparent) = un + separate + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'separated', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not separated'.

Etymology

The word unseparated starts with un- meaning 'not' and has separate meaning 'to put apart'. So unseparated literally means 'not put apart' and describes things that are still together as one unit.
