Morphology
nonstructured = structured (transparent) = non + structure + ed
The prefix 'non-' negates the adjective 'structured', producing the straightforward meaning 'not structured'.
Etymology
Nonstructured starts with non- meaning 'not' and the rest comes from structure, a common word for 'how something is arranged'. So, nonstructured describes something 'not organized' or with 'no clear plan', which is why we use it for materials, data, or other things that lack a regular pattern.
