Morphology
unaltered = unalter (transparent) = un + alter + ed
The word 'unaltered' is transparently derived from 'unalter' with the suffix '-ed' indicating past participle.
Etymology
Unaltered breaks into un- meaning 'not' and alter, from a word meaning 'other' that you see in alternate and alternative. So unaltered means 'not made other', which is why it means 'not changed' or still the same.
