Morphology
unsuspended = suspended (transparent) = un + suspend + ed
Formed by the productive negating prefix 'un-' applied to 'suspended'; the meaning is a straightforward negation.
Etymology
Unsuspended is made of un- 'not' and suspend from an old root meaning 'to hang', so it helps to think of tiny particles that are no longer 'hanging' in the water but have fallen and settled.
