Morphology

unmopped = mopped (transparent) = un + mop + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to the past-participle adjective 'mopped', yielding a clear 'not mopped' meaning.

Etymology

Unmopped starts with un- meaning 'not' and comes from mopped, the past form of mop, which means 'to clean a floor with a mop'. So unmopped describes a floor or area that has not been cleaned with a mop.
