Morphology

unmelted = melted (transparent) = un + melt + ed

Formed by the productive negating prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'melted', yielding a straightforward negative meaning.

Etymology

Unmelted begins with the prefix un-, which means 'not', and the rest is melt, which means 'to change from solid to liquid'. So unmelted means 'not melted', still solid.
