Morphology

unsquashed = squashed (transparent) = un + squash + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the participial/adjectival form 'squashed', yielding 'not crushed'.

Etymology

Unsquashed comes from un- meaning 'not' and squash meaning 'to crush or flatten'. So it describes something left whole and in its original shape, like a sandwich that was not squashed in your bag.
