Morphology

unsubdivided = subdivided (transparent) = un + sub + divide + ed

The negation prefix 'un-' is added to 'subdivided' to mean 'not subdivided', which is a direct and regular negation.

Etymology

The word unsubdivided is made of the parts un- 'not', sub- 'into smaller parts', and divide 'to split'. So an unsubdivided leaf is 'not split into smaller parts' and is whole with no divisions.
