Morphology
unaccomplished = accomplished (transparent) = un + accomplish + ed
Regular negation: 'un-' added to the adjective 'accomplished' (skilled) yields the expected opposite meaning.
Etymology
Unaccomplished comes from un- 'not' and accomplish, which means 'to complete' or 'to succeed', just like the word complete. Because people who accomplish many things are seen as skilled, unaccomplished can mean 'not skilled' or 'lacking experience'.
