Surface Forms

unwilted positive

Morphology

unwilted = wilted (transparent) = un + wilt + ed

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'wilted', so the meaning is the direct negation of 'wilted'.

Etymology

Unwilted is made of the part un- ('not') and wilt ('to droop' or 'go limp'). So it simply means 'not drooped', like flowers or leaves that stay fresh and upright.
