Morphology

non-rated = rated (transparent) = non + rate + ed

Formed by straightforward negation (non-) of the adjectival past participle 'rated', meaning directly 'not rated'.

Etymology

Non-rated comes from the part non- meaning 'not' and rated from rate, which means 'to give a score or official class'. A helpful image is a film that has not been given a score by the official board, so non-rated describes something that has 'not' received an official rating.
