Morphology

untaxed = taxed (transparent) = un + tax + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is productively attached to the adjective 'taxed' forming a predictable negation.

Etymology

Untaxed begins with un- meaning 'not' and uses tax meaning 'a charge by the government', so untaxed describes goods, income, or money that are 'not charged' a tax.
