Morphology

unwiped = wiped (transparent) = un + wipe + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'wiped' giving the straightforward meaning 'not wiped'.

Etymology

Unwiped is formed from un- 'not' and wipe 'to clean by rubbing', so it describes something that has not been cleaned and is still dirty.
