Morphology

unsinged = singed (transparent) = un + singed

Built by standard negation 'un-' + the adjective 'singed' (slightly burned), so the meaning 'not singed' is directly deducible.

Etymology

The word unsinged breaks into un- meaning 'not' and singe meaning 'to burn slightly', like when a candle singes your hair. So unsinged simply means 'not burned' or 'not damaged by heat'.
