Morphology

unshadowed = shadowed (transparent) = un + shadow + ed

The adjective is formed by straightforward negation of 'shadowed' (un- + shadowed), which a learner can derive from known parts.

Etymology

Unshadowed breaks into un- meaning 'not' and shadow meaning 'a dark shape or shade'; imagine something with no cover and all in the light. So unshadowed means 'not darkened by shadow', fully lit or clear.
