Surface Forms

unviolated positive

Morphology

unviolated = violated (transparent) = un + violate + ed

Formation by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the participle 'violated' is a standard, directly interpretable negation.

Etymology

Unviolated is made of un- 'not' and violate, a verb that used to mean 'to break' or 'use force' and is the same root as violence and violation. So unviolated means 'not broken or harmed', like something left untouched and intact.
