unadvertised = advertised (transparent) = un + advertise + ed
Formed by productive negation 'un-' applied to the adjective 'advertised' (advertise + -ed); the meaning 'not advertised' is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word unadvertised starts with un- meaning 'not' and the rest is advertise, which means 'to tell many people about something or make it public'. So unadvertised means 'not announced to the public', often used for jobs, discounts, or meetings that are kept private.
