Morphology

unsmashed = smashed (transparent) = un + smash

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'smashed', making the meaning straightforward.

Etymology

Unsmashed comes from the prefix un- 'not' and the verb smash 'to break by force', so it describes something that was not broken and stayed whole.
