Morphology

unswollen = swollen (transparent) = un + swell + en

Formed by productive prefix 'un-' + the adjective 'swollen', meaning 'not swollen' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word unswollen starts with un- 'not' and the rest comes from swell 'to become larger', like a balloon that is filled with air. So unswollen means 'not swollen' and describes something that is back to its normal size.
