Morphology

unwrinkled = wrinkled (transparent) = un + wrinkle + ed

Meaning is clearly derived by negating the adjective 'wrinkled' with the productive prefix 'un-'.

Etymology

Unwrinkled is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and wrinkle meaning 'a small line or fold in skin or cloth'. That's why unwrinkled describes something smooth and free of creases, like a freshly ironed shirt.
