Morphology
unadmitted = admitted + un (transparent) = un + admit + ed
The adjective 'admitted' simply receives the negating prefix 'un-', producing the expected opposite meaning.
Etymology
Unadmitted is made of un- ('not') and admit ('to let in' or 'accept'), the same root you see in admission. So unadmitted describes someone or something that was not let in, accepted, or allowed entry.
