Morphology

unthinned = thinned (transparent) = un + thin + ed

The negation prefix 'un-' directly reverses the participial/adjectival sense 'thinned' (from 'thin'), so the meaning 'not made thinner' is straightforward.

Etymology

Unthinned breaks into un- meaning 'not' and thin, so it literally means 'not thin'. A helpful image is paint left unthinned that stays too thick to spread, or a row of plants left unthinned that stays crowded and dense.
