Morphology

unsunned = sunned (transparent) = un + sun + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'sunned' (sun + -ed), so the meaning is directly the opposite of 'sunned'.

Etymology

Unsunned combines the negative un- ('not') with sunned (from sun), so it literally means 'not in the sun' or 'not given sunlight'. That's why unsunned describes something kept in shade or darkness.
