Morphology
unsmoothed = smoothed (transparent) = un + smooth + ed
Standard negation by 'un-' of the participial/adjectival form 'smoothed' yields 'not made smooth' with no irregularity.
Etymology
The word unsmoothed is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word smooth meaning 'even and soft', so it literally means 'not smooth' and describes a surface that is rough or uneven.
