Morphology
unshattered = shattered (transparent) = un + shatter + ed
Meaning is directly not + shattered (physically broken), a straightforward negative formation.
Etymology
Unshattered is made from un- meaning 'not' and shatter meaning 'to break into pieces'. So, unshattered describes something that stayed whole and did not break.
