Morphology

unshot = shot (transparent) = un + shot

The negative prefix 'un-' attaches to the noun 'shot' (meaning 'injection') to indicate 'not having received an injection', which is directly comprehensible.

Etymology

Unshot comes from un- ('not') plus shot (as in a 'flu shot', meaning an injection), so it describes someone who has not received that vaccine or injection.
