Etymology: "Unbruised" is about as plain as English compounds get: the prefix "un-", meaning "not," attached to the adjective "bruised." The prefix descends from a very old Germanic root, the same negating element that appears in "unhappy," "unkind," and "unclean," and it has been part of English since Old English. "Bruised" is the older base, so "unbruised" simply means "not bruised," used for skin, fruit, or anything else that has escaped injury.
