Morphology
unfloured = floured (transparent) = un + flour + ed
A straightforward negation: 'un-' applied to 'floured' yields 'not floured', matching the literal meaning.
Etymology
Unfloured breaks into un- meaning 'not' and flour meaning 'the pale powder used in baking'. So unfloured means 'not coated with flour' before cooking, which explains why it gives a lighter texture or keeps a dish gluten-free.
