Morphology

unsoaked = soaked (transparent) = un + soak + ed

Standard negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'soaked' yields the straightforward meaning 'not soaked'.

Etymology

Unsoaked is made from the prefix un- 'not' plus soak 'to make very wet', so it simply means something that has not been made wet.
