Morphology

untilted = tilted (transparent) = un + tilt + ed

Formed by productive negation un- + 'tilted' (past-participial adjective), so the meaning 'not tilted' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Untilted breaks into un- meaning 'not' and tilt meaning 'to lean', so you can imagine a picture hung straight on the wall that does not lean; that's why untilted means 'not leaning' or 'level'.
