Morphology
unsublimated = sublimated (transparent) = un + sublimate + ed
Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'sublimated'; the meaning 'not converted by sublimation' is directly predictable from the components.
Etymology
Unsublimated starts with un- 'not' and the root sublimate, a word that originally meant 'lift up' and in chemistry means 'to turn a solid directly into a gas'. So unsublimated describes material that stayed a solid and did not become vapor.
