Surface Forms

unabated positive

Morphology

unabated = abated (transparent) = un + abate + ed

Formed by the productive prefix 'un-' added to the past participle 'abated', yielding 'not reduced'; the meaning is directly derivable from the components.

Etymology

Unabated is made from un- (meaning 'not') and abate (meaning 'to make less'), so it means 'not lessened'. Think of a storm that never becomes weaker; that helps you remember why unabated describes something continuing at full strength.
