Morphology

undepreciated = depreciated (transparent) = un + depreciate + ed

The word is formed by adding un- to the past-participle/adjective 'depreciated' and directly means 'not reduced in value'.

Etymology

Undepreciated breaks into un- 'not', de- 'down' or 'reduce', and preci- from a word for 'price' or 'value', like in price. So, an undepreciated item is one that has 'not' been reduced in value and is still listed at its original price in accounting.
