Morphology

unreduced = reduced (transparent) = un + reduce + ed

The adjective 'reduced' is the immediate base and adding the productive negating prefix 'un-' yields the straightforward meaning 'not reduced'.

Etymology

Unreduced is made of un- meaning 'not' and reduced meaning 'made smaller', like when a sauce is 'reduced' by boiling it down; so unreduced means 'not made smaller' or still at its full amount.
