Morphology

untender = tender (semi-transparent) = un + tender

Derives from the verb 'tender' ('to offer'), but this verbal sense is less familiar and the adjectival use 'not offered' is uncommon.

Etymology

The word untender has un- 'not' plus tender 'to offer', the same tender in 'to tender your resignation' or 'to tender a bid'. So untender means 'not offered' or 'not presented'.
