Morphology
nonadjudicated = adjudicated (transparent) = non + adjudicate + ed
The negative prefix 'non-' is attached to the participial/adjectival form 'adjudicated', yielding the predictable meaning 'not adjudicated'.
Etymology
Nonadjudicated is made of non- 'not' and adjudicate, which is like the common word judge and comes from an old Latin verb meaning 'to decide'. So, nonadjudicated means 'not decided by a court', which is why we use it for cases or claims still waiting for a legal decision.
