Morphology

unmuddled = muddled (transparent) = un + muddle + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'muddled', forming 'unmuddled'.

Etymology

Unmuddled comes from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and muddled, which is like mud; think of mud being washed away so a picture or idea becomes clear. That's why something unmuddled is clear and not confused.
