Morphology
unshowered = showered (transparent) = un + shower + ed
The negative prefix 'un-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'showered' (i.e., 'not having taken a shower').
Etymology
The word unshowered uses un- 'not' plus shower 'to wash with water'. It simply means 'not having taken a shower', so someone who is unshowered has not washed recently.
