Morphology
untinged = tinged (transparent) = un + tinge + ed
The adjective is formed by straightforward prefixal negation: 'un-' + 'tinged' = 'not tinged'.
Etymology
The word untinged is made from un- 'not' and tinge, which means a small 'color' or slight touch, like the word tint. So untinged means 'not having even a small trace' of a feeling, quality, or color.
