Morphology

unsmashed = smashed (semi-transparent) = un + smash

The prefix 'un-' negates the slang meaning of 'smashed' as intoxicated, which may not be immediately clear to all learners.

Etymology

Unsmashed also uses un- 'not' and the slang smashed 'very drunk', so it means someone who is not drunk or who stayed sober.
