Morphology
unsullied = sullied (transparent) = un + sully + ed
The adjective is a straightforward negation formed by prefixing 'un-' to 'sullied', yielding 'not stained' in a predictable way.
Etymology
The word unsullied is made of un- meaning 'not' and sully meaning 'to stain' or 'to make dirty', a bit like the word soil. So unsullied means 'not stained' or completely clean, which is why we use it for a pure thing or a clear reputation.
