unstudded positive

Morphology

unstudded = studded (transparent) = un + stud + ed

Formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'studded' (stud + -ed); the meaning is directly the negation of 'studded'.

Etymology

Unstudded breaks into un- meaning 'not' and stud meaning a small metal point used to decorate clothes or give extra grip on tires and boots. So unstudded means 'not decorated, reinforced, or equipped with studs', for example tires or jackets that do not have those metal points.
