Morphology

unspotted = spotted (transparent) = un + spot + ed

The adjective is clearly formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'spotted', which learners can interpret as 'not spotted'.

Etymology

The word unspotted comes from un- meaning 'not' and spot meaning 'mark' or 'stain', so imagine a shirt with no stains. That's why unspotted means clean or pure and can also describe a reputation with no bad marks.
