Morphology

unadjusted = adjusted (transparent) = un + adjust + ed

The adjective 'adjusted' (adjust + -ed) is negated by the productive prefix 'un-', yielding a direct opposite meaning.

Etymology

Unadjusted is made from un- 'not' and adjust 'to change so something fits', just like when you adjust to a new home or schedule. So an unadjusted person has not made the changes needed to feel comfortable in a new situation.
