Morphology

undarned = darned (transparent) = un + darn + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the past-participial adjective 'darned'; meaning is directly 'not mended by darning'.

Etymology

The word undarned is made of un- meaning 'not' and darn meaning 'to sew a hole', as when you 'darn socks'. So undarned means 'not mended by darning' and describes cloth that still has a hole.
