Morphology
unwatered = watered (transparent) = un + water + ed
The meaning is clearly derived from 'watered' by adding the prefix 'un-' to indicate the absence of dilution.
Etymology
Unwatered comes from un- 'not' and water, and it can mean 'not diluted', the opposite of 'watered down'. So when paint or juice is left unwatered, it stays strong and pure rather than weak or thin.
