Morphology

unskewed = skewed (transparent) = un + skew + ed

The sense is a general negation of 'skewed' (not biased or distorted), so un- + skewed yields an immediately interpretable meaning.

Etymology

Unskewed comes from un- ('not') and skew ('to slant' or 'tilt'), like askew which means 'tilted'. Think of a photo you straighten on the wall — unskewed means not tilted, not distorted or biased, so it shows things more accurately.
