unwalled positive

Morphology

unwalled = walled (transparent) = un + wall + ed

The adjective is formed by adding the productive negative prefix 'un-' to 'walled', producing the straightforward meaning 'not enclosed by walls'.

Etymology

Unwalled comes from the part un- meaning 'not' and wall meaning a strong barrier, so it means 'not surrounded by walls'. Think of a town or garden with no walls around it, open and easy to enter, and that's why unwalled describes a place without walls.
